A Self-Centered Sort of Disability
She posts pictures
Of climbing Katahdin,
Dance offs,
Sky Diving,
Marathon running,
And comments;
“LOL my doctor’s would kill me
If they knew I was doing this.”
A week later
She posts pictures of a trailer
Taking up a handicap spot
And comments;
“Thanks UMA…
Someone really needs that space.”
Implying it is her,
Because she’s disabled.
Shortly after its followed by 100 likes,
17 comments,
All talking about how inconsiderate
People can be
Because she’s disabled
I chuckle to myself
How inconsiderate indeed
For her to be taking up this space
Since she was 16
While scaling mountains,
Dancing nights away,
Diving from the stars,
And running,
Always running
When so many can’t even walk.
