Paralysis

Paralyzed is how I feel

I can hardly believe it's real.

My mind races to the things I need to get done

Yet, I cannot bring myself to start even one.

I hear the words over in my mind

I cannot believe this was the find

I know it's real, I've seen the scans

The news had shattered all my plans

I take a breath, take it in

I don't know where to begin

With a little faith, "a little time, a little hope"

I'll be okay and learn to cope

With helping hands and letting go

I will regain my spark and glow

With friends and family on my side, I'll slowly feel alive

If I keep looking forward, I will survive
