Strange

I am weird

Was I the only kid that wished

There was something wrong with them.

It sounds strange, but I

Always wished I had a disease

Or some kind of disability

When I was younger.

I have no idea where that

Thought came from.

As I got older the thought

Was still there.

I think I wanted one to help me

Understand disabled people

And people that have diseases.

I keep watching and reading

About kids and teens with

Disabilities and diseases.

It started with me reading

Books by Lurlene McDaniel.

Her books are amazing and

Pull at your heart strings.

She writes about teens with

Diseases.

Then it moved to movies.

The one recently I have watched

A lot is Five Feet Apart.

It is about teens with CF.

It is an incredible movie that

Teaches you a lot about CF.

It also teaches you about

What we need as humans.

Another movie is Before Sunset.

It is about a teen that has XP.

She can not go in the sun or

She will die.

For T.V. shows there is Alexa and Katie.

Alexa has cancer and Katie is the best friend.

This show teaches you about friendship.

The last show is a new one I just discovered.

It is Zac and Mia.

They both have a cancer.

This show teaches you about

Who your real friends are?

I am drawn to these kinds

Of books, movies and shows

Because I want to be these teens.
