I am Human

Sorrow, hatred, depression

That’s what my life is full of.

Everybody talks and stares at me,

Like I am not there, invisible, a ghost

Like I am nothing, useless, dumb.

Words can't explain what I'd do to be normal,

To have friends,

To create memories in other places than my bed,

To have happiness all around me,

To taste the beauty of food,

To be able to tell my mom and dad

I Love Them.

No, being Quadriplegic makes me different.

Makes me known as "that" girl.

They say horrible things about me

And give me the ugliest looks.

All I can do is wonder why,

What did I do to deserve that look or those words?

Why was I born like this?

Who is on my side?

Who actually loves me?

All that goes through my head daily.

I am NOT mentally dead, worthless or dull.

I am ME, a beautiful young women.

I DO have emotions,

I CAN hear you,

I CAN see you.

I AM HUMAN.
