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.
