They don't know how hard it is
To walk, talk and move like this
My body and my health are fine 
That's not an issue at this time

Yet for some reason not unknown  
My legs are filled with heavy foam
And with every move or footstep 
I struggle to catch my breath 
It's caught on something strong 
Powerful and painfully long 
A longing of the greatest kind
One of the heart and entire mind
Restlessness battles paralysis 
In my unforgiving condition 
If I give myself up to analysis 
They'll reach a relentless decision 

So off I go on this long and painful walk
Unable to fully hear, struggling to talk
Awaiting the inevitable end
Will it be freedom and fresh air 
Or imprisonment and despair?
