I wander
hopefully,
N ow anxious for an amazing adventure,
D eciding for myself.
E verything is so good.
P romise that I will be happy.
E verybody that is important, friends and family.
N ot being lonely, but
D aring to do things alone.
E mpowered to be a self-advocate,
N atural leader,
C onfident in choosing.
E cstatic that my wheelchair gives me independence.
