A poem I wrote in high school...

Being a teen with CP...
Being a teen with CP, means not getting invited to Fridays big party.
Being a teen with CP, means sticking out in crowds because you are the only one in a wheelchair.
Being a teen with CP, means not having as many friends as every one else.
Being a teen with CP, means still trying to join a clique your senior year.
Being a teen with CP, means being very shy.
Being a teen with CP, means going for days with out talking to anyone.
Being a teen with CP, means not getting your drivers license.
Being a teen with CP, meansthinking you are crazy because no one around you understands what you are going through.
Being a teen with CP, means getting talked to like a two year old by kids your age & younger.
Being a teen with CP, means filling your book bag so full with magazines, tapes & CDs.
So that people will come up to you & as if they can read the magazines & listen to the music.
Being a teen with CP, means getting a lot of operations to walk.
Then having to recover & learn how to walk all over again.
Being a teen with CP, means that online is your best friend.
Being a teen with CP, means that you are very lonely.
