“Remove the Dis from My Ability” by Mandy Austin Cook
don’t dis my ability to love
don’t underestimate my capacity to achieve
I pave my own path with rare unique stones
but it doesn’t mean I don’t travel well
don’t compare my round to your square
don’t judge my creativity by your specific talent
my drum is different but it still dances
it’s not a flaw it’s an effort cherished direction
but I will still meet you there just give me my own way
embrace me with understanding
and I will embrace you with perspective
and perspective can be precious.
