Bingo #2 Trapped
Trapped

Confined within the hemisphere dispensed
A stroke while forming in her mother's womb.
A damaged global center, commander's room
to signal body parts to function hence.
The intellect and empathy are held
within its mass to compliment her life
Her brain was halved as if cut by a knife.
The living side stepped up and excelled.
Born paralyzed, her right side a dead fish,
unknowns, her speech, her thoughts and so much more.
Yet her stubborn courage deigned to score,
she fell and failed and tried again. Her wish
to walk and talk and be like other kids
made real, her body does what she will bid.
