Life has a funny way of shaking things up
You come to realize you're really not that tough
I would have never thought I would be disabled not in a million years
I battle with my body and my mind it has been one of my biggest fears
To lose myself and all the things that made me great
Now I'm just a sad old soul filled with bitterness and hate
Day after day greeted with more doom and gloom from the last
I stare and laugh out in disbelief as I'm reminded of who I was in the past
A lil girl overflowing with hopes and dreams, a smile on her face, who loved to dance
I look back and think to myself, if only I had one more chance
I would do many things differently if I was able to start all over
I would become the person I was always meant to be, that is what I would discover
I am not meant to be the person who this world has shaped
I must unbecome the person you see today, I must try and escape

Who Am I?
I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.
I now search to find myself!
