Don’t (Fighting Ableism)

Don’t try

To fit me

In a box

According to

Your abilities

We are all

Unique

Just look

Around

And see.

Don’t point out

My differences

We all have

Something to bring

To the table

A gift

Only we

Can bring.

Don’t look

And see

The thing

I cannot do

Give me a chance

Let me

Show you

Just

What I

Can do.
