How dare you assume that I cannot
Ambulate the world,
Negotiate the speed bumps.
AdvertisementDon't tell me when and where to go;
Don't tell me how to get there.
Independent, I am
Competent.
Active
I push my body past limits.
Positive.
And every day
I pray
I will remember
What I remembered yesterday.
Believe it.
Liberated
Be it by cane,
By wheelchair or
By electric scooter.
Empowered
To follow my dreams
To the ends of this walkable world.
