Dignity 

 

When I walk I walk with dignity.

 

When people stare I walk right by.

 

When people ask questions I answer 

 

I answer 

 

I say I have a disability when I know it's a 

 

Disease.

 

A disease that cripples my gate.

 

A disease that challenges me. 

 

I am strong 

 

Not because I have this disease 

 

But because I fight this disease

 

This disease which not a lot of people 

 

Have

 

This is what I have this disease seems 

 

Like a burden But to me it is a gift 

 

To see how others look 

 

Others stare 

 

But because I fight this disease 

 

I know it can’t kill me but I would 

 

Love to find a cure for all the others

 

With this disease
