She stammers while talking
He shivers while holding stuff
She can't read the blackboard from the third bench
He finds an elementary problem tough.
He has bent fingers
She has a displaced tongue
Some are attaining oldness
despite being very young.
Like an underdeveloped flower
In a flourishing garden
We make them feel unwanted
We make them feel like a burden.
His nerves might not carry stimulus
But the heart is still beating
Avoiding dealing with them
Is still a sort of ill-treating.
Like "disabled" and "handicapped"
There are no such things
Wheels replaced your feet
But You still have your wings.
Their toes are already twisted
Let their path be linear
We should stop calling them victims
As each one of them is a survivor.
