Disability Poem by Lucia Domingos Fula

'This is a little something dedicated to parents and to who has disability.Do not be ashamed of who you are.You are beautiful inside and outside.'

I was born without legs
I was born without a voice
My mind may not function right
But it doesn’t mean I’m not human.
I may not get straight A’s
And yes it may take time for me to understand methods and questions
But that doesn’t make me any less than a person.
I was created this way, yet I do not complain.
I’m proud the way I am.
Yes it hurts sometimes but that’s the way life goes.
I’m disable. I was born this way. I won’t change myself for anyone/anything.
