This is AWESOME! so good. i have a problem with people who can't (or choose not to) deal with diversity. i think you rock for addressing this issue with such eloquence. 5 for you!

This poem says so much.

I am as you
Just not the same
Recognize me
I have a name

Rebecca.....you have touched
the feelings of so many disabled
people...I know it really hit home
with me. Excellent Job!

Okay, I loved this - and it is a GREAT reminder to people that just because someone is disabled does not mean that they don't have minds to think with or emotions to feel with. You've touched me again with this one, please, please, don't stop writing.

Thank you. You give me more credit than I deserve. I have stopped writing, I have went through an experience that is so devasting that I cant yet write abot it, eventually I will, I hope. In the mean time, reading others poetry gives me something.

This is great. Working in the health care field, you have no idea how many times I have seen people talk about the disabled as if they aren't even there. It saddens my heart. This piece is right on! Great job!
