fairy tale

i do want a castle
and a carriage…
or just a house
and a car.
it doesn’t really matter
as long as it’s apart
of what makes me feel whole
and start to feel complete
because where i stand right now
is just on two little feet.
the surroundings and my traffic
are courtesy of someone else.
i have little independence
except for treadmill treks of strength.
it’s like rehab but with obstacles
and a frequent monkey wrench.
but it’s what lets me know i’m on my way
to days with much better health.
in my next new place
on my brand new street
i’ll feel whole again
and with every chance i get to stand alone
i will brave the weather better.
i don’t care if its made of stone
or if my vehicle needs to be cranked
i will learn to ride a bike
or i’ll build my own estate.
either way
i don’t care
i’m making my way out soon
and you can visit me
in my new spot
that’s closer to the moon.
