Cross Shield (Abilities Rise Over Disabilities)

This all telling poem tells that people with disability's do have ability's

Dear father

the words they say can’t be ridden out of my brainthe pain, they inflict they hurt

and I try to open my cage

but every time the key, they remind meIt’s locked away- far away from me

but you see even how hard

you wanna stop me

you cant stop the

miracle of God

I know I cant change the past or the future

life is a circle

and if you leave one foot off the gas just for one minute

it’s gone in a second

all that work you put in could be

washed away in a moment

not realizing it until its too late and then the critics will say

that's why people with disabilities can’t make it

but its not too late for anyone to change if your still livingand breathing that's why I'm writing

 

I'm not defeated nor are you

I am a different breed that you are too

I will revitalize my vision from darkness

Ill walk this narrow edge to greatness you can too

just follow me

I was so puppeteered

for so many years people began to see me as a clown in the distance, I was there amusement

I say I do not want to be this anymore

but I couldn't figure out a difference until now,

I was done being looked at as a ghost,

there was a reason God sent me down with a voice and a mind of a poet

to roar like a lion

to bring life to people going though a rough-rough time


protect me Cross Shield

give me strength when I kneel and

make me feel Gods power racing through me while I write these words of poetry  

I wont be overlooked anymore so don’t mess with me

If you don’t want to be dropped

In the most Christian way,

I will not be stopped

stop saying I will tumble

I wont ever fumble this metaphorically speaking football

eventually you all will hear my voice

my vision

someday will come true

but until that day I gotta rest, take time to breath, live and love what I am today because the present day is all we got

the future is not promised (at all)


so that's why God with every second of the day we believe in any dream that you plant in us,

that comes through our mindand every time you open that cage

even if sometimes I feel like I should be lockedaway you find me in a broken place

you offer me a new fate

because you say

the things that you should do I will turn them into what you need to proveto the people that you are writing for

to show them that all of you with disabilitieshave Ability's, tell them I didn't send them down here with no crunch,for I know Beacon Hill

is not perfect neither are you

but it takes a committed few,

a stronger spirit

to take on something life altering

that some people wont ever get but

You don't ever forget

abilities rise over disabilities

every time
