Don't Judge Disability Poem

you may look at me, 

and think you see, 

everything, 

and all that I can be. 

All my capabilities,

more like incapabilities, 

as it appears, 

because on the outside, 

all you see, 

is my spinal disability, 

that appears to limit me.

I tell you this,

If you got to know, 

the real me, 

the side I hardly show, 

except to loved ones, 

If you got to see, 

not only would you be shocked, 

but you would feel silly, 

all because you thought you knew me, 

just based on the judgement,

and seeing my disability.
