Why do you walk the way you do?   By Jonah Kane

Why do you walk the way you do? 

These are the questions that pester me and make me feel blue? 

Who says there is a way to walk?  I think these questions suffer from a logical block. 

I am disabled or so they say, personally I can not wait for the term to go away. 

Why do we classify people based on what they can do? 

Surely this is illogical, I hope to convince you. 

There was once a woman at a local store. She spent her days blind and totally bored. 

People felt bad for the girl, no one could see her gift as a great pearl.

She went on to the Olympics, running on a track she could not see, 

Yet nevertheless competing as a truly inspirational nominee. 

I could tell you many more, a wheelchair bound leading the country in the midst of a war. 

Or a person who could not move, leading science to discover what is true.

All these stories show a common theme, disabled people can accomplish their dreams.

While others say we have limitations, this I can not believe.

Our limitations only show us what is possible to achieve.

I suppose I am disabled and proud to be, if it means I can show the world what breaking through limitations truly means.
