Feel the Dis

Disability paints an haunting sound it's view shows missed the mark you reach out but can't grasp it it feels you're grasping in the dark My tongue is my own disability words don't want to travel by tongue they stick, block, stammer whatever! won't flow at all except when sung Others don't want to look wish they didn't know you feeling you are not human learning be solo as so few Enclosed within speak to you yes you to you all as one the dis of ability you feel will it ever truly change? yes it can be all done?

Powerful write Gordon. Such sadness in the part about others not wanting to look or know you.
