Locked in and locked out both at once;
\nSo slow, I convinced I’m a dunce
\nIn all the social niceties.
\nSome friends help, other like to tease the encumbrance.<\/p>\n

Locked in when I can’t leave my bed
\nFor the pain in my back, legs, and head.
\nLocked in when I can’t talk or hear,
\nFor the roaring fog in my ears leaves me dead.<\/p>\n

Locked out when a shop says, “Boo-hoo,
\n“You can’t make us put ramps in for you.
\n“Stop acting like you have the right
\n“To give decent people a fight, you scrounger, you!”<\/p>\n

Locked out and locked in, with no cure;
\nThere’s nothing to do but endure.
\nBut one choice is left here still mine:
\nIf I want to let this define me: No. I’m more.<\/p>\n
