ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CREATIVE WRITING ACTIVITY GROUP
I am … or am I not?
Who am I? What am I? Where am I?
Am I who you think I am?
Most people try to give an impression of themselves that they think will be acceptable.
Trying to fit in is the biggest obstacle for many of us to be who we really are, disabled or not.
In my opinion everybody is disabled in some way or form, otherwise we wouldn’t have to cover it up.
Luckily I never met a perfect person, it must be soooo borning.
We all have our secrets behind closed doors. And I choose for whom I open that door and how much.
And the windows of my mind… if you can’t look in, I can’t look out and widen my horizon.
I might plant flowers in the front to make it look nice and friendly, but will I allow you to peep inside?
Wherever I go, I will find closed doors. Everybody has them.
I am…. And how are you?
Pauline Mager.
