Action Figure
“There’s nothing wrong with her...”
“It’s just her being dramatic...”
“She’s just looking for pity…”
--
I hate conversations like this one.
They make me want to disappear
Or,
Turn into an Action Figure.
All perfect,
Each one made carefully
To be just right for
Who ever chooses to love it
--
“Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.”
Some will defend,
But there is always a response,
“ If it isn’t visible it can’t affect her that much.”
--
Why are people so naïve?
Why can’t people see the effects?
Invisible disabilities can take a greater toll
Which makes people worse.
They are more likely to be judged
With their limitations and habits.
--
People think we are
Lazy. Weird. Freaks…
We think we aren’t
But when you hear something enough times
It becomes true.
--
So we wish we were action figures .
Perfect molds of what we wish
We could be.
What we should be.
