Great Stories

I created this for Alp NC which is where we talk to and Teach People With Disabilities , this poem is about how Its okay to open up about your story

Great Stories

 

come from the heart sadly through your pain too every one of you have great stories

You just sometimes are guarded and I get that, theirs that security, people want to feel and with random people

you might not get

but, I promise you,

we all went through stories,

It might not be like your story because, your story makes you unique not the same person as any other person

because,

while I was in college, I was shy, was scared to try to speak,

probably the same as a lot of people right but, here's what makes me unique

I hear rhythms

I see words that I don't even know

before,


I even put it on paper

and magically it glows

so, I know I found something even better then speech

a gift then I thought If I can write,

I can make a change, I can make it alright for the people like me

 

that feels like a pirate

like they have no home,

they don't belong anywhere

so, they're stuck

in the middle of no where with no hope,

please hang in there for me, great stories come from a person

that endures

anything from everything,

not a person that just skates through life

that's why I'm reading from a script

what I would say through my lips

wouldn't be as beautiful as what

I could describe through my rhymes

so, for the last line

what do I hope to accomplish through this work,

is to inspire people with disability's

to prove we are made for something better

that we have dreams too,

great stories we can tell to you

and

show you why we are

so unique.
