"Stop waiting and be free. Of me- put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element." -The Time Traveler's Wife


You taunt me daily.
Your remarks keep me up all night.
Lack of sleep
‘cause your voice is always in my mind.

During the day, I don’t know what to say.
All you do is let me fall to the ground.
You look at me differently than others
But I want you to know


If you can see,
Then you can see who I really am inside.
If you can hear,
Then you can hear what I have to say.
All I have to say is
I may have a disability
But that doesn’t stop me from being who I am.
I may not hear well,
But that’s okay.
My imperfections make me the way I am.

If you haven’t noticed,
I am human too.
I have emotions.
I can walk. I can hear and I can talk.
Am I really that different from you?
Just listen what I have to say

If you can see,
Then you can see who I really am inside.
If you can hear,
Then you can hear what I have to say.
All I have to say is
I may have a disability
But that doesn’t stop me from being who I am.
I may not hear well,
But that’s okay.
My imperfections make me the way I am.

Your arrogant comments will never come through me.
You can’t decide if I’m pretty, if I’m smart, whether I am right or wrong.
Those words that come out of your mouth are meaningless to me.
I hope someday you will see through me

If you can see,
Then you can see who I really am inside.
If you can hear,
Then you can hear what I have to say.
All I have to say is
I may have a disability
But that doesn’t stop me from being who I am.
I may not hear well,
But that’s okay.
My imperfections make me the way I am.

You can’t change the way I am.

I was frustrated by somebody making fun of me. So I decided to make a song out of it. Enjoy!
