| To Live, To Believe I can't truly say that I feel the pain of the paralyzed. However, I can truly say that I would do anything to help heal a wounded heart. Not being able to move or control your body is one of the scariest things known to me. When I witness people trapped in these chairs created to travel, it takes my breath away and stops my heart. Just knowing that there is a power as strong as a person living with everyday stillness is an overwhelming inspiration to me. And should be to us all! What can be done to let them walk again? What I wouldn't give to see them rise and stand. Maybe one day an unnatural cure will come. Maybe one day the disadvantage will be conquered. The growing confusion between happy and sad, bad and good, continues to react back and forth in the minds of the committed victims. So if the partying isn't enough, if the drugs and alcohol aren't enough, houldn't a paralyzed body set an example? What If...Again? What if you were that overweight person sitting in the corner, thinking everyone in the room has looked at you at least once and had something negative to say? What if you were one half of that elderly couple that was wanting so badly to be young again, but were still so cool? What if you were that patient laying in a hospital bed not knowing if you were going to live or die? What if you had a chance to save somebody else's life, but you wussed out because you were too worried about your own? Put yourself in other people's worlds, experience the look through other people's eyes, learn the territory, and make yourself at home. If you can truly understand and overcome this obstacle, then maybe one day we will all be equal, maybe one day we will all agree on decisions, maybe one day our worries won't be problems. What if again? Our journey begins What I Want? Another world.......... Is where I want to go! Another life.......... Is what I want to show! Another face.......... Is what I want to feel! Another card.......... Is what I want to deal! Another person.......... Is who I want to be! Another lover.......... Is who I want to see! Another hand.......... Is what I want to hold! Another business.......... Is what I want to fold! Another sickness.......... Is what I want to end! Another straight line.......... Is what I want to bend! Another power.......... Is what I want to have! Another lucky number.......... Is what I want to grab! Another time.......... I don't know what I want? |
