I remember the accident.
Thinking about the day
Sends shivers up my spine.
Each second, is etched into my memory
Like the light of day I remember...
It took just one wrong step,
It just lasted an instant,
Pain swallowed me whole
Fear filled me up
I almost wept.
The ER confirmed it,
My worst fears were true..
I had torn a ligament.
I had busted my knee
My life hasnt been the same since.
I cant climb the stairs.
I cant play any sports,
I cant even walk properly.
Sometimes I get real sad,
It makes me weep.
It makes me mad.
Another year to get back on my feet,
somehow i'll survive..
Sympathy from strangers,
A lil help from friends,
Has carried me so far.
The journey to recovery is
Slow and long.
I dream of the day
When I can run again....
Its been a month since I tore a ligament in my knee playing football. One long and tough month just coping with the injury. It took me to the depths of sadness at times. A real tough ride it has been so far. At least another 8 months to go before I can think about running again. :((
Life can be tough at times.
Who knows what might happen next.
All we can do and need to do, is keep living.

Hey Machhan, kya kavidhai mazhai pozhiyudhu... What happened? Met with some accident? Stay in touch. When did you disappear to the yonder land?
Met with Accident??? :-( How r u now? I don't know whether u'll remember me or not... On my B'Day u called me, and suddenly u stopped calling me [b4 3 yrs i think]. I don't know what's d reason behind that. When u've started to write poems and all man... I'm so happy that all of ur friends like u at the most. Its ur Nature, so everyone like that, me too. Any way, take care of your health... Bye...
