I wrote this, and a risk sharing, but wanted you to read it.

Human Beings.

We see the world in a different way,

We wish our disabilites would simply go away,

Lables we're stuck with, treated as such,

Hey we're still human beings, thanks very much!

People judge what they don't understand,

Hey all we want is a helping hand -

To give us the tools so we can go on,

With what we all go through we are tough - so strong.

Stigma, discrimmination - we've faced in our lives

Things get on top of us, we wanted to die,

But despit everything we can stand tall,

Deep within us we can conquer all.

Hated in the media, by government too,

Shunned in the workplace - who knew?

We suffer in silence, afraid to speak out

It's time to change, hear our voices - Let's shout.

It's made us more caring, compassionate too,

Non judgemental of others which can't be said of "you"

We have talents and gifts too many to name,

Disability is NOT all of us it isn't a "Shame"

Society is so cruel to what they do not understand,

And very powerful "departments" can be very underhand!

If we were given just a chance

We'll show you who we are,

An amazing human being with great qualities that can take us far.

Despite the disiabilies give us a chance to live our lives

It is not a "reasonable adjustment" but our basic human rights!

No one is immune from having problems too,

You could find yourself at the doctors, it can happen to "you".

Jetblack that is really good it captures everything that we go through. I liked it so much. You should submit it for publication as Gina suggests.

[Annlesley]

That is so true. Thank you for sharing. You should put it forward for publication perhaps people might understand, it would be brilliant if they did.

[Jetblack]

Thanks for your comments, just wanted to share with you all, i can't remeber your name, yes i did write this ten minutes, i have put it on my face book profile as well, and i have a page on my profile called abolish disabled discrimination, if you guys can think of where i can get this published if you think it is worth it, let e know and i will send it off, discrimination ********* me off, espically from the doctors etc. my thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you. Hang in there all of you, and don't let the ********** get you down, you are all so much better than that. Hugs gentle to you all.xx
