Don't look at me
I haven't eaten without my teeth before
I'm still getting used to the taste
I once made a name for myself
I had the vigor to conquer anything
My stride was never broken by any missteps
Don't look at me
I haven't walked with this cane before
I'm still getting used to this gait
I could once climb mountains
I could once dance all night
My days were always filled with fire
Screaming down the stairs that I built
Each step hits harder than the last
I've been in this bed for weeks
They keep feeding me this tasteless food
The doctor said I may walk again
I just want to get back home
