Poem by Denise Landry
Most days I live in peace with my disabled body. Every day I wake sore and tight but I find calm Within myself to relax my spastic body Then I can do whatever I want And face the world happily, Although the world sometimes Makes it difficult, less harmonious. It puts barriers, physical and mental Between it and me out of fear and pity Of my odd moving body and chair. I again find calm within myself And use it to tear down the barriers. See peace and serenity and find beauty in everything, everyone And let everyone see the beauty and joy in me As I go on living in harmony with myself and the world.
