FUNHOUSE MIRROR
When you look at me;
Do you feel fear?
Are you afraid;
You'll end up,
Like me?
Living with;
A disability.
Do you fear the image;
In that fun house mirror?
The image with a voice trembling,
In fear.
Do you imagine yourself;
In my shoes?
Do you fear;
That your mobility,
You'll lose?
Do you imagine;
your future, dreams,
And all of your hopes?
Will simply vanish.
Do you question;
How you will cope?
I'm looking back;
Seeing you through,
That distorted image.
You see there.
Afraid you'll forever be;
locked in that mirror.
You fail to see;
My determination,
my will not to give in.
My desire;
That this fight I will win.
You also have it within your soul.
But until you experience;
The impossible.
It's hard to know.
Can you fight back;
Against fate?
Find a new way for;
A life to create?
Adjust to the new image;
The new you,
Standing up tall.
Wiping away;
The tears.
Recreating the image;
In the fun house mirrors.
