Back And Forth

Spasticity

There are times when my nerves cannot function
In the correct manner. Muscles are ‘told’
To act in a way that is not controlled,
Flexing, contracting, a huge malfunction,
Causing, for me, a major dysfunction:
Spasticity! It strikes, and in its hold,
Bringing me much closer to the threshold
Of what I endure from this malfunction.

Spasticity hits unexpectedly.
Whether getting out of my bed, the van,
Or adjusting my feet in my wheelchair,
I can only observe, dejectedly
As my legs bounce,but I can use my plan
Physical therapy helped me prepare.
