I got this idea from a poetry workshop I went to yesterday: Write a poem about what your words do. "My words change" or "My words never lie" for example. Make it as creative as you want! And tag me @LiberalPoet.

Diagnosis

She can not feel.

She can not emphasize.

She can not understand why her husband looks at her with empty eyes.

She is not a vegetable.

She is not a freak.

She does not understand why it is such a sin to be unique.

She will not change.

She will not view herself as something atrocious.

She will not think any less of herself because of a diagnosis.

She may not look at the world the same.

She may not understand why you get mad.

She may not accept that it is okay to be sad.

She should not have to be looked down on.

She should not have to deal with being labeled.

She should not have to constantly be judged by people who only see her as disabled.
