Aspire to inspire before you expire <3


Together
Many of us face these
Hurtles
Jumps
Obstacles
Many Pass By
We keep going
Judged
Misunderstood
We will rise
Equal
We are
To everyone
Regardless of my IQ
I am smart
I am successful
I will amount to something
Label me with
Self-Respect
Those who try to define me have no
Education
Intelligence
They lack
Everything
We have


The author's comments:
Read the piece from top to bottom and then from bottom to top. This piece was inspired by a very good friend of mine who I hold very close to my heart. The lack of tolerance and respect my friend receives from others just because he has an intellectual disability is appalling. Everyone is equal regardless of IQ or physical ability.
