I Am A Person Too!

I am physically challenged unable to walk and talk
as freely and clearly as you.
But that does not stop me from doing the things I like to do.
Such as going horseback riding and going to the Red Sox games
and writing poetry too. But my frustrations continue.
Like a sample task would take you two seconds to do but, for
me it would take longer to do.
And waiting for your P.C.A. to take care of you.

Here comes my family supposd to be there no matter what but when
I say the truth or give my point of view, they confuse with anger
and then they start a dispute. What am I suppose to do?
For an example when I visit my sister and brothes at their homes
and they get me settled in my chair and then they offer me a drink.
I get a sip or two and then they process to talk among themselves.
They would deny it but it is all true.
And they say they know what I go through!
I have feelings and needs because I AM PERSON TOO!!!!
