Limited by perception

Limited by your perception of me,

You need glasses,

You have much to see.

Don't say disability matters

When I can't get into buildings .

When I can't fit on to sidewalks

Because the snow has not been plowed.

When I can't find accessible, affordable housing.

My abled bodied peers

Can leave their homes

Without flashing lights

And a whistle .

Don't say

Disability matters.

It's really, very simple.

Because,

I'm limited

By your perception

Of me
