The Memoir Of Ms. Butterfly

Victim, I am not.

Yes, I have a disability, but I am not my disability.

If I get scared unexceptionable, I will jump out of my chair if I am not strapped down to my seat.

It might be funny to others, but it’s not funny to me because it’s a constant reminder of the things I don’t control when it comes to my own body.

The word victim is for people who refuse to fight back, and anytime I am blessed by God to open up my eyes, that’s a fight in itself.

I know I am far from being a victim of any kind.

When I was able to take my first breath to live, I am proud that I am fighting, not a victim.

See me or someone like me sees strength, determination, and willingness to be proud of being.
