An injury I sustained and a plan we had made

 There was a date we had picked and a price we had paid

In my mind it was the surgery I had dreaded and feared

 But as the recovery began it was then things felt weird

I was used to controlling the contents of my life

 Then I lost that control like the slice of a knife

My ability to depend upon myself was now lost

 And my emotions and feelings were all twisted and tossed

I was left feeling lost and confused and alone

 This loss of control is a feeling I’ve known

I hadn’t expected to feel all these things

 But emotions unraveled like a ponds rippled rings

They spread through my body and coursed through my veins

 And then came complications and with it new pains

The recovery took longer and alienated I felt

 Tears filled my heart from the emotions I’d been dealt

It pained me to move so I was alone through my day

 I would see all my kids when they came over my way

But it was not as before where I could play as I they did

 Where I could go on outside and simply be with my kids

No I am all but alone now as I sit and I wait

 Wishing, oh wishing this wasn’t my fate.
