I tried to follow the straight, the narrow <br />but I always wander off the path <br />taking chances I shouldn't take <br />facing the devils evil wrath <br /> <br />I thought I had it figured out <br />the way to change this stupid life <br />get the surgery, stop the drugs <br />yet my world is still full of strife <br /> <br />Now they've canceled my surgery <br />said insurance won't pay <br />I doubt that's the reason <br />they've sent me away <br /> <br />Someone set me up <br />set up me to take the fall <br />rigged it so I would fail <br />but still I'm standing tall <br /> <br />This weight I'm carrying <br />slows me way down <br />I can't walk fast, or run <br />I often cry without a sound <br /> <br />Now they can lock me up <br />and even throw away the key <br />my body my be held hostage, <br />but my mind will always be free <br /> <br />I'll miss my mother most of all <br />and I've disappointed her again <br />it seems the only thing I am good at <br />is writing poems and sitting in the pen<br /><br />Linda Racaniello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-stolen-surgery-canceled/
