Disability Poems - Poems about Disability

Who is disabled? Is it me, or is it you? Should disability be based On an anatomical stock-take, Or based on what you can do? For I can climb mountains, I can soar through the sky, And I can slay dragons, With just a blink of an eye, I can overcome barriers, Fight against impossible odds, Ignore patronising glances And condescending nods. So who is disabled? Is it me,...

Don’t see only our disabilit-ease, Don’t deny us basic facilit-ease, Don’t ignore our many abilit-ease, Don’t compound our varied difficult-ease, Deal head-on with the harsh realit-ease. You never know what life has in store, You may fall one day and rise no more, You may join our ranks, afraid, unsure, You may write words to plead; implore. We are not an alien race, We...

Debilitating, crushing, it’s stolen my days, In a thousand...

When we say goodbye, Time will not stand still. Life moves on as it always has, Forsaking my own will. Don’t try to feel sad— I’ll know it’s all a lie. You didn’t love me while alive; Don’t pretend to care when I die. I was a burden to so many, In my youth and old age. I’d rather go out quietly Than force a false...

We must clear the signs If visitors come. The instructions on how to Wipe and clean. It is for shame, to not Embarrass him. Signs encouraging growth and how to Self-sustain. What do they think of My old cracking bathroom? If they knew the battles fought here, the messes made! At least the dog can still be washed here. So that’s one...

The alternative resolution. Where was your manual for me. The...

She hears the same thing all the time. “She needs to learn her place and stay there.” The brown eye girl is sick of hearing it even in whispers from people. Year after year the brown eye girl has to Indore the b.s from people around her. Do they honestly think she doesn’t understand what...

I have a disability no one else can see, People think I'm normal but it's hidden inside of me. Sometime I'm happy other times I'm sad, Anxiety depression doctors said but others think I'm mad. They all just say get a grip there are happy times ahead, It's easy for them to say as they can't see in my head. A...

Wheels spin, dreams unfold Stories untold, waiting to be told A world built for some, not for all But change is coming, hear the call Ramps rise, like bridges to the sky Saying "You belong" without a lie Concrete and metal, simple design But they're lifelines, almost divine For those who roll instead of walk These slopes are more than idle talk They're freedom, dignity,...
