Immobilized
I wiped away the tears of a crying
Child
Yesterday
And felt as though I were wiping
My own
But couldn’t dry them
Couldn’t dry
Them
As hard as
I tried
A neighbor knocked on my
Door
Today
Asked me if I would move
My car
And felt as though I were spinning
My wheels
Because I couldn’t drive it
Couldn’t
Drive
As hard as
I tried
Please
Let me step
Forward
But know I can’t go
Any farther
Please
Let me step
Backward
But know I might trip
Fall over
Please
Let me step
Sideways
But know I
Hurt
With
Every
Inch
Please
Let me step
Let me step
Any way
I can
