Hear My Voice  


You look at me but you don’t see me.

You speak to me but you talk down to me.

Have you ever felt like a prisoner in your own body?

Have you ever had a crowd stare at you with humiliating pity?

I have a soul that yearns, a heart that beats, a mind that thinks,

but you only notice the legs that don’t work, the chair that I’m bound in, the speech that is slurred!

I’m a person too,

I’m sick and tired of being overlooked,

You will hear my voice,

I won’t be ignored,

Why must I be ignored?

I like being different,

Why do you have to be ignorant?

This is me,

Why can’t you accept it?

Why can’t you be my friend?

I’m a person too,

I’m sick and tired of being overlooked,

You will hear my voice,

I won’t be ignored,

Why must I ignored?

You will hear my voice,

It’s my right and choice,

I won’t ever be ignored,

Because I’m a person too.
