Wheelchair

Rolling
Endlessly, never able to plant yourself firmly,
with your own two feet.
Rolling
Being pushed and pulled,
going in circles and never able to choose
what direction you want to go in.
Rolling
Stuck on ground floors
claiming to be accessible,
but what’s accessible about stairs?
Rolling
Back and forth but never forward
Clinging to people for support, and life.
Rolling
Growing up with a person,
who looks like you
But you lean on them
like Ivy on a house.
Rolling
starting and stopping but,
Always
Rolling
