My basketball skills leave a great deal to be desired,

Anything that has to do with my legs for strength begs,

I can’t climb up off the floor, just my overall core,

I cannot use due to lack of physical power, wish I could buy it all back at a store…

No football can I throw, nor any ball with any kind of distance,

All I can do from others is just ask for assistance,

So I guess for me sports is out of the picture,

Though they rarely were ever in the picture for me,

But it makes me cry thinking of all these pictures…

I can’t even ride my bike anymore, the bike solitary in my living room,

It scares me to have myself on top of it, afraid of falling down off of it,

So no longer a runner, no longer a cyclist or a swimmer,

 I am sedentary, as I am not even a hedge trimmer, just a dud I am,

I guess I might as well be in the end in a tomb.
