**SCENE 1: PT SESSION**
I gripped my crutches tight, sweat dripping down my face as my physical therapist, Mike, pushed me harder.
"Ten more reps, Kyle! You got this!"
My legs burned, but my mind screamed louder – I'd overcome this.
The 2001 car accident that put me in this wheelchair was merely a setback.
**SCENE 2: COGNITIVE THERAPY**
Mind a battlefield – cognitive therapy my ammo.
Dr. Lee's words echoed in my mind: "Control thoughts, control outcome."
I clenched my fist, focusing on resilience.
**SCENE 3: IM ABLE FITNESS CLASS**
Sweat my war paint – IM ABLE my battleground pride.
Pull-ups blurred my vision – urban gym chaos faded out.
Only strength mattered. My accident scars faded with each rep.
**EPILOGUE**
My warpath to recovery – almost won.
Still scars, but strength outweighs pain.
"Unbroken" – my new nickname, my truth.
