29 Disabled Sports -Chumbawamba

I saw one legged skiers, agile and graceful
In and out the slalom, rushing ever downwards
And there weren't any losers
I saw marathon runners, strong and determined
Hunched in wheelchairs, and pushing ever onwards
And there weren't any losers
And there weren't any losers


One Leg Short ~ yours truly

now you find yourself
one leg short
of what you used to be
just know that nothing
could ever change
your imagery to me

the strongest of strong
will hold on
the longest of long
i'll love you
just the same as before
it's because of you
i know so much more

you are inspiration to me
for you i strive to be
the best that i can be
never doubt my feelings for you
family to the last breath and beyond
family proven so true
you paved the way
for the rest of us

you are the heart
of our family's body
even though now
you're one leg short
of what you used to be
all of that is just
physicality to me

~ so today sucked. on the drive to school today i received the news that my grandfather would be losing his leg thanks to diabetes. he's following in his mother's genetic footsteps now. she lost one, then the other, then her life. i wish i was more into medicine. i would search for a cure for diabetes and cancer and hiv and cruxif jacobs disease. not to mention dysthymia. so anyways then i went to biology to get my disease project subject. lupis it is. i'm standing in the student center on my break sulking. suffering the heart ache that lies within. thanks to the mary jane i am able to stand here and type this instead of being freaking out somewhere. well, i feel so terrible for my grandfather, and i wish there was something that i could do but in reality the only thing is to be there for him. aghh even now the tears threaten to spill out, but i continue to fight the never-ending acting battle. i'm really sick of all of this bullshit. i'm mad at the world today. *sighs*
