Alona Perlin Poet Lyric

Disabled But Able

Imprisoned in a body
That I cannot control
Unable to communicate
Incomplete, but I am whole

Relying on my caretakers
To supply me with the care
I can’t look out for dangers
And dangers that are there

I may not know the language
And cannot learn to write
And every time I take a step
It’s an enormous fight

I may not be your equal
But I am still alive
Deserving of compassion
For happiness, I strive

So please do not discard me
And offer me a chance
Because my story matters
And I have grander plans
