I am...not the only one



 

I am not my situation

I am not what brings me down

I am not the things that pull me back

I am not just another one

but

I am not the only one

I am as strong as the things that push me forward

I am bigger than what told me I can’t

I am excelling at something I couldn’t before

I am living

I am breathing

I am fighting for my life

everyday

I am overcoming

I am excelling

I am winning this battle

everyday

I am extraordinary

I am succeeding

everyday

I am watching people

living

breathing

fighting

succeeding

I am not the only one

I am not alone

I am
