He was told to stand
This was a challenge of huge proportions
But he did not want to be singled out
He did not want to feel he was different to others
He did not want to be the one to get away with just cause he was “special”
the young man strives to be like everyone else .
This was his moment to shine.
His two hands grasps each side of the table.
His body creeping upwards
trembling he pushed himself to his feet.
His burden would not stop him from standing tall and straight.
His teeth grind against each other to hold in the screams of pain,
standing tall he was so very proud.
His legs were shaking how long would they last?
Take each second as it comes.
Fight it with all your will
Drops of sweat roll down the side of his face.
A roar is let out in pain and anger,
giving up is not an option.
But for his legs it is.
He falls like they are swept from under him.
He is helped to his feet picked up under his arms and placed upon the chair.
he was not embarrassed but a sense of failure filled his mind.
He may have lost the battle but he will keep fighting the war.
