The poem called Living with Cerebral Palsy
The poem called Living with Cerebral Palsy
A young man called Jay.
He was born premature, doctors hope to survive the night
His small body had fought while being on life support
Doctors want to want to turn his life support machine off
Jay proved the doctor wrong and he became strong.
He has Cerebral Palsy, which means he can not use his legs
There had been days where he had gotten depressed and stressed
He knew this was a test by god.
Jay nodded to god.
He said will define the odds.
There are some days he feels great pain and his legs feel tight.
Which was not a great sight for his family members to see
As they wanted to see him pain-free.
His consultant told him to try baclofen tablets.
Which did not agree with his belly.
Then his consultant suggested he should try a baclofen pump
Which has reduced the tightness in his legs
He heads to bed with less dreadful of not being able to sleep
Jay knew he what able to sleep deep into the night
The next morning he woke up bright and not yarning in the morning.
This was transforming Jay.
Jay has found his lost voice through poetry writing.
Lighting may people's hearts
