I am strong.
Maybe not physically, but mentally.
I am the one who holds my family
together. I am invincible.

My doctor tells me I am sick.
It's not true. I am invincible.
The IV tubes and drugs seem like
a dream. I am invincible.

My family, that I hold
together, appeared together,
before me. It was then I realized,
we are invincible.

Us teens think we're invincible, but when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I realized that I'm not. But when my family helped me through my first few months, I felt invincible again.
