This poem is dedicated to anyone who may have a disability of any sort. Whether you are blind, deaf, wheelchair bound, have cerebral palsy, are autistic, an amputee, mentally disabled, etc, this poem is for you. We all deserved to be loved for who we are on the inside, not what people see on the outside. Love comes from the heart, not the eyes.
This poem was written specifically from my heart, but it represents all disabled people, and how we feel about how we are treated because of our disability. Men and women alike can relate to this poem. If you have ever been rejected in love because of your disability, this is for you. Know that you are worthy of love, and the right person will come along and see that.
You say I’m beautiful and sexy
But you could never be with someone like me
The fact that I can’t physically see
Makes me unworthy
Of being your girl
Or a part of your world
You like that I am intelligent
But the fact that I am blind makes it irrelevant
My personality turns you on
But for your image I am so wrong
You have a misconception
That my disability is an imperfection
My inability to see makes me less than
A real woman for a so-called real man
I am good enough for you to fuck
But at the thought of being with me you buck
What would your friends and family say?
If I had the fortune to meet them one day
Or would I just be your little secret
Your girl when convenient
If you really got to know me
Then you would clearly see
That just because I am different
Doesn’t mean you have to be ignorant
There is a whole lot more to me
Like love, compassion, and loyalty
Having a disability has its challenges
But doesn’t everyone have their own imbalances?
I am just as good as anyone else
I do my own thing, I take care of myself
But to you I am only just half a woman
So to love me is something you couldn’t
I’m independent
Not easily offended
By your lack of interest
Or hesitance for a commitment
But at the end of the day
No matter what you think or say
I know what I am worth
A blessing on this earth
A real man will see me
And know that I am worthy
Of being his girl
A part of his world
It will be your lost
Too late to defrost
Your cold closed heart
Since you didn’t want to take part
To see what could happen
For this you were slacking
So closed minded
By shallowness you were blinded
Oh I’m not angry you see
Because you missed an opportunity
To have someone like me in your life
As your girlfriend or even a wife
You left room for the next man
To get in where he can
Because he has no shame to be
With someone like me
