Trigger warning: The last two verses (after the jump) mention the death/murder of people with disabilities. It's not explicit, I think. But everyone has their own comfort levels.
I am not invisible
this may be obvious as I stand here
all 5'4" of me
feisty with anger
Or meek with the submission I learned to adopt
(and relearned with my disability)
"Invisible disability"
Invisible to whom?
I am not invisible to me
My forced breathing
my eyes clenched tight in pain
The tight way I hold my body to try to stop the waves
the twitches
the sometimes spasms
the way I can't move my head much
This is not invisible to me
