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.
