Inclusivity

I've long been sidelined for being different And I had to work extra hard to get to where I'm at Cause barriers were set on our path From words of dismissal to being put down And I hope it ends with me For some of the people with disability Ain't as strong as me Some break from within and hide And then be afraid of expressing Their desires while they've got voices that need to be heard So from my art I'll always try to speak for them Until they are able to come out the shadows To speak of their struggles cause we all have stories Stories that inspire us on the dark days Cause we believe that they need to be heard At times I'd go to sleep, hoping Hoping that when I wake I find the world's inclusive Not to see me as someone in need But to see me as someone with a different need Due to my challenges as disabled And before I sleep I always pray That the same hearts that like a nice laugh Or the same faces that beam with joy when they smile Have the same stead on issues of disability Cause we not a minority, there's more of us everyday
