Do you have legs, eyes,
and a mouth?
Can you walk, see, and
loudly shout?
Do you have a nose in
order to breathe?
And do you have teeth in
order to eat?
Do you have hands and
fingers to touch
All of the things that
you love so much?
If you have all of the
above are we really different?
I can feel pain and hurt
and can even have fun
I have emotions,
feelings, ideas.
It might take me longer
to process, but what others say I can hear
It may take me longer to
understand
Yet I have problems just
like other humans
Are we really different?
I sometimes can’t see
my way
It’s as dark as night
when it has just turned day
Sometimes I can’t hear,
although you are next to me
And I might not look the
way you expect I should be
Some days I can’t walk,
I ride in a wheelchair
I often wear a wig so my
head is not bare.
I go to a special person
who helps heal my pains
Everyone needs help,
everyone’s the same
Are we really different?
Do you cry when someone
hurts you inside?
And when someone praises
you, don’t you feel pride?
Don’t you laugh at
jokes and have fun with friends?
And don’t you wish good
times would never end?
Don’t you like doing
things that others do?
And don’t you smile
when others compliment you?
Maybe I’m not all the
same, but does it really show?
Are we really different?
I don't think so!
