the world builds ramps for stairs
but not for hearts and minds
they see bodies and assume limitations
never stopping to ask or learn
you are not unseen but ignored
your worth dissected like a fault
as if pain makes you less human
as if struggle is not strength
their pity falls sharp like arrows
you do not need their saving
you are survival dressed in light
resilient even in their shadows
this world wasn’t built for everyone
but still, you move through it
teaching grace in each forward step
showing courage is its own language
