A Quadriplegic

I am a quadriplegic,

I am trapped in this body, a prisoner of my own flesh. I can’t do the things I used to love, I can’t even take care of myself.

But I am not giving up, I am fighting every day to regain my independence. I am determined to show the world that I am still a person, that I am still capable of great things.

I am a quadriplegic, but I am not defined by my disability. I am a fighter, I am a survivor, and I am a warrior.

I will not let this body define me, I will not let it hold me back. I will live my life to the fullest, and I will never give up.

I am a quadriplegic, but I am not broken. I am whole, I am complete, I am perfect just the way I am
