There was a time
Where my voice would fall onto deaf ears
Expressing my pain, they turned a blind eye
They silenced me;
“At least it’s not cancer?”
“At least it’s not a big deal?”
“At least you’re not suffering?”
They silenced me until
I sunk into darkness,
Until my existence turned to
Black
And through the darkness shone a thought
To never let anyone feel the way they made me feel
To listen
To comfort
To learn to look beyond
Do not let my eyes deceive me
As those who looked the other way
Whilst I crawled, whilst I begged
In the dark
And the darkness faded into light
And the light illuminated my world
Filling me with golden rays and silver beams
Showing me that my physical limitations
Were nothing compared to the warmth radiating from within
Or my ability to truly
See
Hear
Feel
To understand the pain of others
Even when their voices fell on deaf ears
Even when a blind eye was turned
Even when they were silenced
