Different Abilities

I was born different
I am such a one who can't talk
I am such a one who can't walk
Maybe such a one who can't see
Maybe such a one who can't hear
Maybe such a one who is retarded
Maybe such one who can't physically 
do This or that.

I am such a one you made feel
Like I couldn't be. My inability to do
One thing or a couple of things doesn't
Make me unable to do other things. I can't 
Hear or talk but I can walk and see,
I can't walk and see but I can hear and talk.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, just
Because I couldn't do this or that and you could 
Do it, doesn't make me disabled and you able. We Are just two different people with different abilities and there is no such a one as a person with disabilities
