I see people walk by me
I then go into my own world and think
What if my disability hadn't come?
Would I still be friendly or would I be mean

A bunch of questions pop into my mind
I ask myself if cancer would not have killed my dad
Would he be here would I be the same
Or would I be weaker

I think what if one day they find a cure for cancer
And no more people dying leaving their loved ones
Being happy and always smiling without any pain
Having more freedom without something killing them inside

But then I think if I didn't have a disability
I wouldn't get the time to see what the people sitting in wheelchairs
Feel like I might of passed them thinking they are just people who can't do anything
Like the rest of the world does to people sitting in wheelchairs

Learning how to walk, Learning how to talk, are the hardest thing to do in a baby life. Learning how to walk for me is the hardest thing to do.

wow, I...am speechless...
I honestly have no clue what to say...except, that is sad, yet at the same time...it shows how much you have learned, and how strong you have become. it's very touching...and I am glad I had the opportunity to read it...

I'm just glad that now this rainstorm has ended, and I can see the rainbow once again.

I fight my disability every day. Somedays are easy some days aren't so easy, but when I'm laughing thats a easy day but when I don't have a smile on my face that a not so easy day. If you wanna email me pls do, maybe we can be friends. ~*~Min~*~

My brother is downsyndrome and I often wonder what it would be like if he didn't have that......would I still be who *I* am? I highly doubt that...
So it's all good....I guess things were just meant to be this way.

Loved the poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Your disability has made you the person you are. You probably would be completely different. Situations change people. However, I do believe that you would be the same person who cares about your father so much.

Thanks for the read.
