My silent tears

I wish I can move like you, but I can't

I wish I can jump like you, but I can't
I wish I can laugh like you, but I can't

I wish I can sit upright like you, but I can't

I wish I can walk like you, but I can't

I wish I can run across the fields like you, but I can't

I wish I can climb hills or trees like you but I can't

Have you ever wondered why I can't put on my own clothes?

Why I can't comb my own hair?

Why I can't take my own bath?

Have you ever felt like how I feel?
You can sleep but I can't

As my eyes are perpetually open

You can breathe but I can't

As there's a tube down my throat

You can eat but I can't
As everything is tasteless

You can play but I can't

As I'm strapped 24/7 to a wheelchair

I wish I can cry

But there's no tears to shed

I wish I can put my hands around you, but I can't
I wish I can carress your cheek but I can't
I wish I can kiss away my mummy's tears but I can't
I wish I can take away the pain from my daddy's heart, but I can't

Please look at me
Please look at my silent tears

Please listen to my voiceless plea

Please embrace and hug me

All I want is to be loved...
