Poetry- something I haven’t written for a long time. But sometimes it has better words – less is more.
How do I deal with disability
When it was not my fault?
When there’s no official diagnosis?
When I don’t know what limits I’m facing?
How do I deal with a disability
When I wasn’t prepared,
When I’m still not prepared,
To give up all that could be lost?
God please give me the strength
To see positives in my new future
To make peace with events
And create rules in my uncertainty.
God please give me the power
To make peace with the past
To adapt my new future
And to rise once again.
