| My twin sister and I |
I want to speak up
for those who can't talk
can't walk
can't see
can't interact
there were so many can'ts in that sentence
why not focus on what a person CAN do?
I am sick of this society
pushing us aside
like we don't matter
we do matter
we do have a voice
we were created in the image of God
we are loved and cherished
we have a life
God has a plan for our lives
we were placed on this earth for a reason
I have a disability
it is part of my life
and something I will fight for
until there is change
till we are recognized
not just in this country
but around the world
We just want to be loved
have friends
and treated like a normal person
Please look beyond our inabilities
and look at our abilities
look at our hearts
look at what we have
not what we don't have
Just because I have a DISability
doesn't mean that I don't have other amazing abilities
that God has blessed me with
I have a voice
and I will use it for the voiceless
