What I am not is the first thing you see.
What I am not is the six legs I used to walk around.
What I am not is the handlebars I hold onto.
What I am not is what you see when I walk into a room.
What I am not is the way you see me on the outside.
What I am is a person who is just like you.
What I am is someone with self-worth.
What I am is someone with intelligence.
What I am is someone with dreams.
What I am is someone with hopes.
What I am not like another person with a disability that you know
What I am not is the label that I was born with
What I am not is your inspiration
What I am not the only person in the room with a walker.
What I am not is taking up space in life.
What I am not is letting my disability stop me.
What I am not is letting my disability affect how I live life.
What I am not is allowing myself to give up on myself.
What I am not is letting my challenges get in my way.
What I am not is letting my fears get in the way.
What I am is a creative person.
What I am is someone who gives love.
What I am is someone who receives love.
What I am is someone who loves life.
What I am is what you see, what you see me. That is what is called judging what you are visiting in your eyes. When you judge with your eyes, you miss out on life because life is much more than what you see on the outside. When you remove the walker and the disability, all that is life is a person just like you.
