Tired of waiting

 

Months gone by, and I\'m still on hold

Tired of limits, tired of pain\'s cold

I want to move, to live, to be

But my body\'s pace is slow to agree

 

Every step\'s a task, every task a chore

Rest is forced, but relief\'s ignored

I\'m a shadow of my active self

Trapped in this frame, where movement\'s a test

 

I\'m tired of waiting to be whole

To shed this pain and reclaim my soul

I want to be me, free and unbound

Without this constant ache, this weight I\'ve found

 

I\'d trade it all for a pain-free day

No complaints, just freedom\'s way

To run, to play, to live without thought

Of what\'s allowed, and what\'s not
