My Worth

Society has no problems putting disabled people in a box because the community we are worthless and lazy, but that is so far from the truth; we have a lot of successful disabled people that don’t get the extensive management they deserve In society.
I’m not going to lie; sometimes, as disabled people, we do not help ourselves when we don’t motivate ourselves to be a part of this society. We just put ourselves in a corner where nobody could see us; that’s why it’s so difficult for people to believe in us and believe in our abilities to be successful in this world.
I am motivated to be someone, but I can’t talk about it.
I have to be about it, but there’s a catch 22 if I try to work or support myself financially. I lose all medical benefits because that to society means I can take care of all my medical necessities; in reality, I’m not able to do.
My medical necessities are through the roof, and it’s not something that I can take care of on my own, and that’s when my medical benefits come into play because they help cover what I can’t hide. After all, I don’t have that type of money.
I should not fear my ability to work because of losing something for me to get gainful employment.
I’m not willing or able to hide my disability, and I won’t because I’m not ashamed of it’s a part of me, but it’s not all me.
I’m not going to allow society to define my abilities or my worth in this world.
