I was born this way,
I don't know anything else.
In some ways it makes it easier,
Knowing that I don't know what I'm missing.
That doesn't mean I watch everyone around me,
Wishing I could do that thing or action.
Sometimes I think to myself,
"What wouldn't I give to do that."
Up until now,
I've just floated along with life.
I do whatever I'm told,
Been what everyone wanted me to be.
But now I'm realizing that I need to my own person,
Make my own way in this world.
Often time I'm treated as a 3 year old,
I know it'll never change.
People think it's weird that I go out on my own,
Really I'm just living my life.
Outside I'm in a wheelchair,
Inside I'm just your regular 20 year old.
I want the same thing everyone else does,
People around me don't have that much faith in me.
But I have 4 people who are always supporting me,
Near or far I always know I have them.
You may ask if I wish I didn't have CP,
The truth is both yes and no.
It made me who I am,
But I could do more in I didn't have it.
I wouldn't have met some people if I was "normal"
People who make me who I am today.
But if I didn't have it,
I could be and do more in the world.
Sometimes it really sucks and even makes me cry,
But I wouldn't change it for the world...
