Really want to be gainfully
engaged, embrace learning
but disability is in charge,
like an uneducated thug,
skulking behind my back,
sneering at my attempts
to demonstrate capability.
I am slow processing,
easily distracted, socially
driven, control slipping,
botching efforts to show
potential, suspect that
disability, the hard-headed
tough guy that he is, revels
in my failure, despising me.
