Don’t Think I Don’t Hear

The Quiet Whispers

“When you focus on someone’s disability you’ll overlook their abilities, beauty and uniqueness. Once you learn to accept and love them for who they are, you subconsciously learn to love yourself unconditionally.” Yvonne Pierre

Don’t think

I don’t hear

The quiet whispers

The things you

Think are said

In silence

Hurt me

To the core.

And don’t think

I don’t see

The way

You look

At me

As if I am

Less than you

Like I am

Defined

By what

You think

Limits me!

You treat me
