” I am me ”

I recently wrote I am me to describe the way I want others to look at me as a woman with Cerebral Palsy:

I am just me a woman who loves life,

although I use a chair as my legs to get around,

I am just me a woman who uses her creative mind to escape from my hard reality,

I am just me a woman who loves the world’s adventures,

and what’s in store for a woman like me ,

I am just me a woman who is a fighter,

but whose also giddy and full of laughter,

I am me a woman who never says ” I can’t ” at the beginning of a sentence,

I am me a woman who loves every inch of her body scars and all ,

I am me a woman who embraces her cerebral palsy
