Don’t

Photo by Ann H on Pexel’s

Don’t be so

Quick to judge

Me

As you see

Me step

Out of a car

Parked in the

Handicapped spot

Calling out names

Threatening to

Call the cops.

What you don’t see

Is the muscles

That don’t always

Cooperate.

Don’t assume

I’m lazy

As I rest

In bed

I have my good

Days

And the ones

I simply

Need to recharge.

Muscles that weaken

Over time

A silent battle

Fought over

Time

Yes I’ll

Often smile

And assure

You I’m okay

As I stumble,

Leaving people

To wonder
