I have a problem with my leg so I walk with crutches in public.

It’s been ongoing for about 3 years.

I’m only young and I want to be able to do things like a normal kid.

Everyone always tells me how tough I am but I don’t want to have to be tough.

I laugh, smile and act happy, I hang out with friends alot.

But when it’s late at night I wonder if I’m actually happy?

But the thing that hurts the most is when I move awkwardly and I feel pain in my hip.

The pain doesn’t hurt, just the reminder that I’m not normal.

I don’t think I’m so tough anymore.
