they used to ask me when I was a child ... what do you want to be when you grow up I’d close my eyes and imagine becoming A teacher, a doctor or maybe an artist At 15 I was so happy with my peers Dreaming and planning like any other kid Who will I be in the coming years I opened my eyes to see a doctor next to me Is my journey over? my parents were afraid The story changed and Dareen grew up Everything changed from innocent dreams To real life where the truth is painful I continued my life, I lost part of my body The world judged me and pointed at me They thought I was from another planet Suddenly my dreams and challenges were bigger than me To be an inspiration and leave an imprint I put a smile on my face despite the tragedy I didn’t let go of my dream, no giving up And on one leg I will lift all these weights Challenges make you strong And give you meaning with every step you take I rose again after being in denial Stood up and dreamt and inspired many I was able and did an effort to win I was happy and celebrated even the small wins So don’t be afraid no matter how big your difficulties in life Everyone faces challenges It makes us grow stronger and puts us on the right track Although you will feel tired during the journey and think of giving up but your dreams and ambition will help you stay strong make you realize this is your calling this is your power in life I will be an inspiration and leave an imprint Forget the hard painful days and move on I didn’t let go of my dream, no giving up And on one leg I will lift all these weights
