For Just one day...

For just one day...
If I could be any one for just one day.
         Would I be a skateboarder?
                   I would be able to flt on nothing except a skateboard.
                   I would be popular.
                             Every one would talk to me & invite me to parties.
                   I would be so skinny that I would fit into a size 5.
                   Every one would want to look & act like me.
If I could be any one for just one day.
         Would I be the most popular girl at school?
                   I would have tons of friends.
                   I would be invited to every party.
                   I would not be shy.
                   I could run up to any one & talk.
If I could leave my walker & wheelchair at home for just one day.
         I would be "normal".
         No one would think I am a retard just because I walk with a walker.
         I would be able to keep up with every one when I walk.
         I would feel like I am walking on air.
I would be myself.
         Because that would be another day that I could work toward my goal.
                   To make my Cerebral Palsy not noticable.
