I'm fed up of people

who take us disabled

for granted!! It's like

we're not capable of

anything!!!

The "disabled" are the most able ... possibly ... a matter of thought ...

Chez

They don't see us as whole. They see us as damaged and therefore incapable of

achieving what they can. I have Asperger's Syndrome (minor autism), and I've been

writing poetry all my life to cope. If anything, we are more capable. We can write about

what our lives are like for a purpose. To spread awareness or to just make people shut

the hell up and listen. Mentally or physically disabled, we are all capable of poetry.
