Expression of my ABILITY through poetry

SOMETHING TO SAY

Hey you! Out there!

I’ve got something to say,

I’ll only take a moment of your time,

While I rap my little rhyme.

Hey you! Out there!

I’ve got something to say,

Please don’t choose to walk by,

I know my speech is different that’s why,

I shout, Hey you! Out there!

I’ve got something to say,

Please don’t turn your heads away,

Come walk in my shoes and see things my way.

Hey man what you doing out there?

Come in here I’ve got something to say,

Now we all have to live in society,

So lets enjoy our variety.

You out there, yes you!

Listen, hear me, I’ve got something to say.

You may see me as weak,

And wish me not to speak.

But I’ll scream and shout!

Hey you! Out there!

I’ve got something to say,

Here we go, hey!

It is not my practise to post poetry on this blog. My blog Word Play is where you can read my poetry. But there is much of my writing that focus disabilities, misconceptions about people with disabilities; disability not ruling out a person having abilities of their own and my passion to be a voice for those who can't voice there desire for equality with those who describe themselves as 'normal'. 

In this week of celebrating disABILITY I thought it adapt to share my 'poet self'. After all my ability to write poetry is something I want to celebrate this week! 

I don't have something to say, I have much to say!
