Into The Light

 A bump and a bruise,

a trip and a scrape.


I can no longer wear my cape

or be the hero you so choose.


I drink my tea,

leg-up on display.


I cannot feel THOSE toes

much to my dismay.


An open gown,

I am bound.

I frown at what could be

me

is not what I see.


A part of me lost

in aimless injury.

And the hunt for who to be

grants me the right to let go.


I can not follow

you home tonight

I must go.
