D on't stare at me, I'm only disabled
I 'm just like you just not quite so enabled
S pecial people are just born this way
A re we so different in the cold light of day?
B asically I don't work as well
L esser beings would be going through hell
E ach time you stare, an uncomfortable feeling?
D on't you forget, I'm a Human Being

Can't originality be accepted. Can't segregation be rejected. Can't oppression be deflected. Can't our causes be directed. Can't this hate remain subjected. Can't a cure just be injected.

@leelee101 I know how good you are at acrostics and you certainly didn't disappoint!!! Thanks sweetie β€
@leelee101 no problem lee, we've had to learn this in my course so I'm currently writing course work on some aspects of communication! Love this piece! I should show my teacher about Opusses disability awareness project!
@minxyMolly sorry to butt in but yes Molly!! Show your teachers!! That's what this projects for raising awareness lowering ignorance ππβ€
Well done Lee, the more awareness the better. I was always sympathetic to the handicapped but it's only when I saw my own child suffer that I really knew how bad it can get! βΊπ½
@minxyMolly more encouragement from me, perhaps your teacher will encourage your class to join in! π
@crowncottage just a little bit from me Linda. I don't have any experience with any form of handicap so my hat's well and truly off to those of you that have. πβ€ Thanks for reposting Linda πΉ
@originalkitten well that's not the way we do things hunny β€ hope you're having a great day ππ
