Voice of Disabled People

If only....
If only I could crawl, but my legs are too weak
If only I could scream, but I have no voice
If only I could see, but I'm blind
If I could hear the chattering of birds, but my ears are dead
If only I could dance, but I don't have legs
If only I could do what you can do
The world was gonna be a Haven
I long to write long love letters but my fingers are crooked
The melodious songs I cud have sung if I had a voice like you
I'm not complaining
I'm greatful
But I just want you to see the other side of the coin
I'm all lying on the bed from childhood
I don't know how it feels to walk
They said they saw fire, how does it look like?
If only I could see, I was gonna be an artist
Painting whatever that I saw
If only I could......
