I Didn’t See Her

Looking at a person, and thinking that means we know them, and what they are capable of is pure insanity. It’s time we stop viewing the world through sbleist eyes.

I didn’t see her

Not really

Just a silent

Memory

A shadow

Of who she would

Be.

She’d heard the judgements

The quiet

Speculation

Of those who

We’re quick

To make assumptions.

They see the

Wheelchair

And not the person

And her abilities.

I was was one of

The ones

Who quietly

Speculate

But I didn’t

Want to pass

Judgement

Become one of

The one’s guilty

Of jumping

To a false

Conclusion.
