WINNING MY MIND GAMES!!

I've fought a barrier--it lives inside my mind!
I drive a wheelchair, but I am not resigned
to stay within this chair when all of life's out there
and waits for me to do whatever I may dare!!
And so I will succeed to jump out of my seat..
Others may say I can't; I won't accept defeat!!
And if I find I can't leave my dear chair to stand,
I will still pursue life; I've been dealt a good hand!!
