Dear Cerebral Palsy,

I am very frustrated with you and feel you are deceitful. You deceive me by telling me I’m different than everyone else. You deceive me by telling me no one understands me. You deceive me by concluding that I am not deserving of love and support because articulating what I need is very difficult at times. You deceive other people around me into thinking I’m drunk, or that I’m not interested, or that I’m impatient
