Have you ever feel like your disability is in the way, sometimes?

Have you ever feel like your disability is in the way, sometimes?
Hear me out, ok?
You wanna go to the restroom but you can’t go cos
You need an assistant…you feel like you wanna go on
Your own….even go to the store and you wanna reach
A can of sweet potatoes on the top shelves but you have to ask for help…
Even when you drop a pencil on the floor though you can’t pick it up….
Yes there are challenges that we face a lot….there’s nothin wrong to ask for
Assistance…nothin wrong to ask for help….
It doesn’t mean you can’t do anythin
You can do anything, but it’s not everythin
Cos there are still limitations everywhere in the world….
For many of us people with disabilities have creative ways to be independent
Some work, some don’t….
I don’t like askin people for a helpin hand when they’re in the middle
Of doin somethin…even when I have to….
And it’s annoyin for others as well….
It’s like I wish I could take myself to the ladies’ room….
It’d be easier…
I can’t….it’s why you have family and friends who you trust
And you got your aides, your staffs to help us along the way
We should be grateful, and appreciate for the people who loves you
I have family who takes care of me and I’m thankful for that…
Yes I felt like my disability is in the way sometimes, cos there are limitations.
It doesn’t mean I can’t do anythin…
It means that I’m aware of what I can and what I can’t do….
Do you understand?
We have obstacles, we go through processes…
It’s a journey…
Please don’t think of disability as a negative way….
It doesn’t define us….we’re born with it, or it came from the accidents….
Who we are as a people is our definition…
