i decided to post my poem today since I will probably be busy all day tomorrow. I hope you all enjoy!
7 years ago I couldnt lift my head
confined to the hospital bed, the surgeons thought i was dead
they told my family the chaplain was on his way
the devil wanted to take me
but God wanted me to stay
They said I might not make it through the night
but they didnt know I was a warrior
prepared to fight
They said after so much brain damage I wouldnt remember a thing
so much struggle, the future would bring
they said I might come out mute, deaf, or blind
but for sure, I'd lose my mind
literally ofcourse,
they removed 1/4 of my brain
they put a plate in my head
but im far from insane
You see I come a long way from 10/18/01
they thought my life was done
but really it had just begun
I was chosen with a plan in mind
I had to move forward
and not look behind
yes it was hard
but I have come a long way
I said I am a warrior
ready to fight anyday
to erase the doubt and defeat the odds
to leave you amazed and surprised
when i tell you i had 16 surgeries on the brain
when i tell you i used to be in a wheelchair
then walked with a cane
Yes my arm is bent
but Im not ashamed to be a G.I.M.P
a gorgeous independent mobile person
who cares if i walk with a limp
some people THINK what I CANT do
but I KNOW what I CAN
who else do you know
who can tie their shoes using one hand?
do their hair, and make a ponytail too
cook dinner and wash dishes
(just to name a few)
So dont frown and feel pity
but smile when you see me
i know you see my struggle
but do you see my victory?
