Pride

Writer's picture: Bobbie CoelhoBobbie Coelho

I’ve got Parkinsons

I still have a brain

Don’t treat me

As if I’m insane


I’m a dragon

I can conquer the world

ive never just been

An ordinary girl

I've had to fight

To keep my place

In this shallow human race


You think disability means weak

But it’s a strength

I am human - and unique

You couldn’t change places

For a day, let alone a week


Thatmakes me strong

and those who can’t see me

are weak

I’ve felt this myself and so I found your words very relatable. A voice drawing attention to something not often wrote about is always needed. I liked it.
