Dubbed Deciet
smiling
faces
scare me
their knives
are much more
sharper
when they talk
it's like a dubbed
kung fu movie
the sounds
don't match
the lip movement
everything is
a twisted
conversation
full of
silent
hazards
out
of my
league
in these
shark infested
waters
cold
ruthless
dead eyes
legal
murderers
of hope

each day hurts
unfortunately,
i feel
just as
i look,
the sun
comes up,
hours pass
and then
the moon
waves,
another
morning
and things
haven't
changed,
my body
in pain,
i feel
it there
to greet
me each
new day.

too tired
i wake up
each morning
with more
physical pain,
(except
when i
sleep for
a few
hours during
my day),
than i don't
want to
continue
enduring,
ailments
it seems
i inherited
from my
mother,
and knowing
that the
government
refuses to
compensate
me fully
does not
help an
already bad
situation.

Beyond The Stigma
Disability doesn’t come for free
It’s not free from
Ignorance
Bullying
Stress
Lack of self worth
Maybe it’s meant to be
To be a martyr
Pave the way
For those that will follow
So they won’t feel the pain
The right of acceptance is a battle
There’s no emergency here
Just a single spastic
Once stamped on
There will be no more trouble
What remains undercover
Becomes normal behaviour
It’s not free from
Ignorance
Bullying
Stress
Lack of self worth
Maybe it’s meant to be
To be a martyr
Pave the way
For those that will follow
So they won’t feel the pain
The right of acceptance is a battle
There’s no emergency here
Just a single spastic
Once stamped on
There will be no more trouble
What remains undercover
Becomes normal behaviour

you have to laugh
even as I face my own terror
I see the humour in it
isn’t easy to walk down the street with a head
full of panic
and this pair of knees

my scars
my scars
run much
deeper
than any
someone
will see
on the
surface.

The Tyranny Of Indifference
We will stamp on you
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought

Strain what strain

HALFWAY THERE (I)-(original draft) (East Flagship Hotel Pier Jetty, Galveston Island Texas; 1-29-1997)
i took a trolley
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there

the net and hordes
you are new to me no matter the length of stay
come forth from the darkness and announce who you are
there is a familiararity...a pattern I cannot name
you leave and erase and come back again
your depths reaches out to me
you think I am to judge?
simply put I was born different
struggling with terribly crippling anxiety
alone and heavily medicated
torurtuous lot I've fallen in with
isn't it enough I march?

those people
those people,
whose blood is red
but their sky is black...
those people,
whose dreams are colorful
but their vision is pitch black...
those people,
whose journey came to a halt
as soon as it began...
those people,
who feel the golden morning
and saffrony evening in the darkness only...
those people,
whose life is laden with black
and whose shadow is also adorned with black...
those people,
who do not feel any difference

Metamorphoses
The transformation from a
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul
How I missed dancing
Playing volleyball
Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention
Merciless I turned away
When I was at my lowest
