You don’t know what you see when you look at me.
I might look fine, but I’m not.

When I’m at school people whisper,
They talk about the boy with the limp.
Some kids even ask if I’m trying to be a pimp.

When you look at me, you really don’t know me.
I have CP or Cerebral Palsy.

When I was five and started school I had a brace on my leg.
My momma told me God made me this way for a reason.
My confidence speaks for itself. Look at me now!

I have CP but as you can see, it really doesn’t matter to me.

There were some challenges that I faced
Like riding a bike and roller skating all over the place.

Sometimes I get frustrated and I SHOUT
I cry when I know I can’t do something because of IT.
But I know if I can’t do something I want because of CP
It’s going to make me a stronger person.

Now you know what you see when you look at me, you see a person who is okay to have CP

YEAH, I HAVE CP BUT CP DON’T HAVE ME!!
