Pride by Bobbie 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
