We're All Different, Not Disabled
If you class yourself as ‘'normal',
Why are you not aware,
That all of us are different,
So why the need to stare.
What does being ‘' normal'' mean?
Exactly how is it defined?
If you don't fit the stereotype,
Does it merit you being maligned?
We didn't ask to be this way,
But life's challenges we accept,
We work and laugh the same as you,
Truth is we're quite adept.
Some individuals are born this way,
Others by sheer chance,
By treating us all as equals,
Our lives you will enhance.
Try not to be judgemental,
There's more to life than wealth,
If we had the chance to choose,
We'd rather have good health.
We have our partners some have kids,
The mortgage and the stress,
Our lives are much the same as yours,
Same problems more or less.
We go out to our work each day,
We socialise and play,
Pay our dues the way you do
There is no other way.
When you're in our company,
This should hold no fear,
You can talk to us directly,
Some of us can hear.
When we try to integrate,
You will always get the clown,
Who'll look at you and comment?
‘' They should have that put down ''.
None of us are perfect,
All human beings have flaws,
So think about the damage,
Remarks like that can cause.
