Aim Of Riki Aka Erika Long
To inspire.
I was incredibly intelligent, so sporty and so bright.
It was all taken away, in one single night.
I was only nine and suffered a severe asthma attack.
I had to start all over, it put me off track.
My heart stopped for three minutes, I was declared dead.
But turns out I wasn稚, I just had a hard road ahead.
I lost my speech and had to relearn how to talk.
I知 in a wheel-chair now, but with help I can walk.
I take up to thirty tablets, a ritual chore each day.
I知 only twenty five and I have a lot to say.
Life is frustrating and painful but there痴 a reason I live.
I知 here for a purpose, a purpose to give
.Yes I now have a challenge, but I知 here to inspire.
I知 not sitting back, waiting to expire.
