"LET ME BE ME!" 3-21-17

In the journey of my life, I always tended to be different.

I really had no interest to be like everyone else.

I certainly did not follow the crowd!

When I was much younger, and not acting like the rest of my peers, there tended to be some bullying.

There has also been a mad rush, by professionals, to label me.

Did I tell you, I really, really dislike labels?

I don't understand why, when I just want to be myself, people have to put a label on me!

Let me sing in the hallways!

Let me laugh when I think it’s funny!

Let me dance in the streets, even if it’s just doing wheelies in my wheelchair!

Please, allow me to be that person God intended me to be!

I may be a bit weird but, I’m real and somewhat unique!

Let me be who I am!

Let me be “ME”!
