How to cope with life as is
To enjoy it as others do
Manage pain and discomfort
And to put aside the hurt
Find a reason to believe
Your life has reason too
Find a role in life to play
Amid it's grim disarray
Search your mind, explore the web
Examine other's ways
What would appeal to me you ask
What shall I make my
lifelong task
Make a web site, tell your tale
The good things and the bad
Maybe this will help someone
Feel
that he is not alone
Moaning, I have done my share
Felt sorry for myself
Why oh why is it like this
No
reason, it just is as is
So will it do me good, you say.
To sit and make complaints
Should I find some other
way
To help me get through my day
I think the most constructive thing
Would be to look around
At others
who have worst to take
And just to give myself a break
Stop beating myself up because
I can't do all those
things
I'd like to do, but think of this
You have to make life good, as is.

What
can I make of my life I ask
What can I do like this
Change my outlook, see the real me
It has been long hidden
you see
I am still here within this shell
I'm not just a physical being
I breathe, I think, I ponder
Is
life so bad I wonder
Find a new path, this I must do
Look around for pastures new
Use my brain, to reason
how
My life must change, and change right now
Use my new found thought process
To help others gain prowess
In managing their pain and so
Live their lives with much more go
Not sit on the sidelines
Watching life
go by
But play a part, as actively
Learn to be, set yourself free
Free from the constriction
From the
restriction
The pain can have us feel
Yet our lives are just as real
As able bodied folk we know
Who
through life's many changes go
Without a trouble, or a thought
For those of us who just feel caught
Up in
the weary path of life
We wander every day withstrife
We all must reconnect and see
Life can be what we want it
to be
It may take more effort than we thought
But it is worth the great onslaught
Of struggle, overcoming
pain
We've less to lose, much more to gain.

Who do you see when in my chair
I
see you just standing there
Gazing on with staring eye
Thinking gosh that could be I
Do you see the me within
Or think that I can do no sin
Wonder if I have my fun
Or do I just sit in the sun
Serving no useful purpose
Thinking I could just be surplus
To requirements, no real use
Should I be a mere recluse
No, not I, for
I can too
Do most things I want to do
Just because I'm in a chair
Doesn't mean I do not care
To live
a life as full as you
Sometimes it just is harder to
But I will work hard to be me
So next time look and you will
see
ME
