Please Understand

Please understand

My effort does not make me an inspiration

My determination does not make me a miracle

My struggle does not make me a hero

Please understand

My effort is necessary

My determination is my only choice

My struggle is my enemy

Please understand

I find no glory in my triumph

I am not proud of my persistence

I seek no recognition for my successes

Please understand

I am trapped within the confines of my body

I am raging to express the capability of my mind

I am drowning in the possibilities my soul holds yet cannot express

Please understand

I am driven by an intensity that clashes with unavoidable limitations

I am overwhelmed by visions of my intended journey that defy my realistic abilities

I am mistakenly labeled as either blessed or cursed

Please understand

I am simply trying to trust my call.

Please understand that we all have something we did not choose for ourselves. My something is CP and my relentless call to be real about it.
