People like me (Disability)

Written by S.W.


Pain you can't see

Yet you dismiss

Overriding my authority

When it's not even your place

Accessibility is important

You can't deny it out of existence

Yet you get aggressive, and I get distant.

I'm not weather resistant

These storms hurt my heart

I wish I could be more persistent

But the fatigue plays a part

Disability isn't for the weak

We are warriors and it's support that we seek

Yet we are stigmatised and belittled

By hypocrites and sheeple

You can't recondition the people

Without being hated for speaking up.

Constantly told to shut TF up.

No.

NO.

I live with this condition

Just because you don't understand

Doesn't mean others won't listen

I refuse to be walked over

I refuse to put myself at risk

I refuse to hush myself

Or water myself down for your benefit

You don't understand

Fair enough

So keep your issues with disabilities away from me

I'm not moldable clay that you can play with freely

I can't change shape or fit into the boxes of society

I can't conform like you do because of the hierarchy

Until space is made for people like me

I will be LOUD and I will be free

Because as Godkiller says

"When free will is outlawed,

Only outlaws will have free will"

And I may work around my disability,

But I'm free in comparison to you and your conformity,

Acting suitably for those around you,

Never actually opening your eyes to see,

There's a world out there, 

And it's waiting for people, 

People, like... me.

It's a slap in the face for the disabled...

  ...when councils share and promote diversity and disability inclusion and awards when they themselves are abandoning and discriminating against disabled people. These deserve the award and have done amazingly but the way the council shares this news seems like they want to 'appear' like they care and support disabled people when in reality they don't. I responded: So why have they forgotten about the neurospicy and disabled individuals using the do it online form for Durham County Council? There needs to be a check box for the council to call people back if they're on the assistance list.  It's not hard to attach a check box that would automatically add a call back to the most vulnerable customers of bulky waste. I'm currently being discriminated against and can't do anything about it, if I get a fine I'm going to the news about the council taking my money and abandoning me with bulky waste cause I'm mobility impaired and can't move it a few in

Sad times at the RVI.

I got triggered today from this memory: When my bairn had leukemia, we were coming back from the hospital with all the fun things he created with his mam. Social services need reprimanded for their complete chaotic and sadistic behaviour and corruption but my son is healthy and alive and well now. They prevented me from seeing him in hospital then LIED to the court judge with cleverly worded paragraphs that would not explain that it was THEIR fault and instead implied we didn't care. I was LIVID!  I missed out on so much after being newly diagnosed with a disability myself and ending up in a wheelchair, and I had lost my business and everything, but that wasn't enough for the UK system. They had to harm this family and I believe in karma and the universe and my son KNOWS the truth and knows he is loved even if it did cause a divide in the family and my brother is estranged. People really do run with assumptions and SANDRA BARLOW if you're reading this you had no right to li

~New Chapters~ Connor has been a great support to me and we've had a lot of deep soul searching talks where we are working together on making our lives better. We've clashed and made mistakes but we're working together towards a more positive and brighter future for us both. I'm not easy to deal with sometimes, I struggle with my disabilities and have CPTSD etc and Connor has ADHD (which I also likely have) and having talked about the way we get hyper fixated etc we have found better ways of getting one another's attention so neither of us feel so alone or ignored. We both love one another and we've both been working on our own mental health and boundaries. So far I think we've had a lot of lessons learned and we can start again from a place of deeper understanding. That's what's important. I know I don't have to write or say anything but I know a lot of people that care about me may feel the need to be outspoken about this choice, please remembe
