All the writing that I do or have done have been pieces of that I have taken this writing from. This piece that I wrote reflact all the pain I feel when people or say hurtful things about me being in a wheelchair.

I want to be free the mask that I been wearing for the last 27 years of my life.

Trying to protect myself from a world that has been nothing but pain to me ever since I could speak and say how much pain I was in.

I want to be free from this mask so I can know what it feels like to be in my own skin without having something to hide behind.

I want to be free from this mask because I feel that I have hid myself long enough from the world and now its time to face  the world head on.

As I get older I have always thought about how I want people to remember me as and I dont want people to remember me as the girl that lived her life behind a mask.

I was scared to face the world in my own skin. I want people to remember me as the girl that finally took off the mask and faced the world.

Once I took off the mask I became free to explore everything around me without hiding behind a mask and i was able to be myself.

    Freedom means alot when you have other people tell you when you can do something. Having freedom that I never is the best thing because I am in control of my life and dont have to worry about someone telling what to do…
