Watching

Watching 

People don’t know what it is like to be in a wheelchair,

Normal People get to go and do whatever they please,

I don’t like having to depend on others but it’s part of my life,

People have their own lives to worry about,

People get to play basketball and jumping on a trampoline,

Eating is a challenge,

People are obvious until something happens like an accident to change your mindset,

Inspiration is a challenge because people die everyday and you can’t bring them back from the dead,

I miss my grandpa who was blind for support,

My uncle is a stick in the mud,

I try not to be low and so down in the mouth but i just want people to see me and not the wheelchair and sometimes that’s hard to do,

I try to be everyone’s inspiration to show people that people who have disabilities aren’t stupid but it’s hard to find light to motivate myself,

Humanity sucks,

I try to help others because what would we do without help.
