Through My Eyes

THOUGHT MY EYE

You think you know me, but you don't. You think you see me but you have not seen.   My eyes see one thing and you see another I am fifteen and half but that is not my age. I have seen people older that me think that I do not know anything but I know a lot. There is a special reason that I was born.I was given the body of a young  girl but I have the mind of an adult.  I have had very many operations and they have given me a sense of wisdom that I can not describe. People take many things for granted that I do not take for granted. You say that I am strong and that you could not go through what I have been through. Well, you don't know it, but you could do it too if you were in my place. You have to do what ever you have to do. It is not a matter of choice for me.I had to decide if I wanted to be cared for by people all my life, or if I wanted to be able to take care of myself. I want to take care of myself. That's  the way  I am. I have to handle it.  When I came out of the operating room from my last operation I felt numb.  I felt nothing. So you see I bet, you did not know that a fifteen year old girl could have such feelings.
