I am…

I live with Down Syndrome
I am the same
From when I arrived
Till the day I depart.
I’m creative with great ideas,
Likes, dislikes, loves & fears.
I’m a bundle of fun
I know I get judged
But I’m a loveable son.
I have a dream
And I don’t care what it may seem
I am… me
Unchangeable
Untouchable
Unbelievable
Undeniably… me.
