Dignity

Dignity 

When I walk I walk with dignity.

When people stare I walk right by.

When people ask questions I answer 

I answer 

I say I have a disability when I know it's a 

Disease.

A disease that cripples my gate.

A disease that challenges me. 

I am strong 

Not because I have this disease 

But because I fight this disease

This disease which not a lot of people 

Have

This is what I have this disease seems 

Like a burden But to me it is a gift 

To see how others look 

Others stare 

But because I fight this disease 

I know it can’t kill me but I would 

Love to find a cure for all the others

With this disease
