What is disability?
A state of mind
A place where people can be unkind
Where nature and nurture forget to communicate
Where one or other forgets to close the gate
And where paths divide
Unkind word chide
Many do not know the way
To the others kind of day
To see the hobbled body where boundaries abound
Shows how to make that friendship sound
There are other ways
To behold disabilities gaze
In the eyes and in the tongue that make unanswerable phrase
OH my please dry your eye.
I am my own disability and all I need is your ability
To hold my hand and understand
I am me
The one like you who is free.
Mind cannot behold
Something that is or is not bold
Mind cannot know
Each path that others have to go
Yet My mind
Is me
Oh can’t you see
I am like you free
Yet my mind holds me fettered
I am so shattered
With invisibilities cloak
I am not just a piece of coke
To be burnt and tossed away
Yes my friend I am here to stay
I do not know I do not fit in
Is that such a sin
To want to belong
To sing with you our summer song
Do not judge my state of mind
Just hold out your hand to me be kind
