Crying to be heard

[DebsKent]

You were not there you did not see the thing these teachers did to me.
How do I tell without the words?Without the tools that make me heard.
My teacher threw my lunch away I was not allowed out to play.
What was my crime? What did I do?
It seems Im not the same as you.
I told the truth Im not to blame, you adults must now share the shame.
I tried to speak you did not hear.
I asked for help you were not near.
I am an innocent disabled boy, I give my family love and joy.
They stole my faith and trust in you , it broke my heart its now in two.
I have tried to start my life again.
To feel the joy and not the pain.
You did not hear what I had to say , you closed your eyes and looked away.
This is not right it is not true.
I am the victim it is not you.
Your system failed and you blame me ,It is not safe you must now see.
How can you help? What must you do?
The answer is inside of you.
If this poem makes you cry you must be human as am I.

if I were to change the "disabled boy" to a "disabled girl" then this poem could be about my little girl ....... heart wrenching _ whos is the author?

It's a lady and it is her own son she is talking about. So sorry to hear that you have had the same happen to you.

We have started a facebook campaign called Parents of Disabled Children unite..... feel free to join if you are on facebook. We are trying to get parents together (and their friends who support the cause) and then when we get large numbers, we can petition the Government with a loud voice - all singing as one! We want a few things but basically we want our children to have the same opportunities, care, support, training and most importantly respect as their peers.
