My Poet's Dream

Jenn D

I have cerebral palsy; there I said it, that's me.
For a long time I prayed to be free.
A beautiful mind trapped in a body of disease.
For a long time this is what I believed.
This physical battle had me feeling defeat.
Am I up against a war that cannot be beat?
But then I realized freedom is in my mind.
My mind is free to dream with no physical bind.
As I began to dream, my mind filled with beautiful words of rhyme.
I could build my own masterpiece in this poet's dream of mine.
Even if I can't do everything physically...
In my poetry is where I find that I am truly free.
So as I go through life I have one main goal,
That you hear all my poems, so I can share my soul
