Thoughts From a Spec in the Universe

Asthma

Can't speak

Can't breathe

Someone, please wait for me

I can't keep up with this too fast pace

Need a break from this race

Inhaler gone missing

Resolve is slipping

Lungs will deflate

But refuse to fill

Now I can only wait to till

My lungs give out or I give up

But I can't give up

Won't give up

I can conquer this and make it to the top

My disability is only temporary in my brain

Life if decided by me alone I don't need a cane

My lungs won't work but I have the same chance

A better chance than you

Because I know what limitations can do

I may not outrun you but I can outsmart you

My lungs may not hold me but resolve will

I am not weak and I am stronger then you

I have passed the finish line while you sit still

Lungs finally fill

I made it to the end

Others have fallen including some friends

But I won't bend to the rules of this race

I will fight!

Because just like you I have the right

To win to breathe

To make my life what I please

A/N: I actually do have asthma and after a tiny asthma attack I decided to write this ^^
