want the cute guys to guys to ask me out,
and fight with my mother over clothes.
Yes, I am seventeen and I have Cerebral Palsy.

take pain killers to function on bad days,
see more doctors than anyone in this lifetime should ever have too,
and have an entire medical dictionary inside my head.
I have CEREBRAL PALSY
Yes, I am 17, and yes I have a disability please don't confuse the two!
Before you look at my broken down body please look at me.
