Am I stupid?

Am I stupid?



Am I stupid?

Do I come

Off as stupid?

Is that what

Makes me

Seem so stupid?



I’m really starting

To wonder because

Certain people I know

I won’t say their names

Question me on things

When I tell them the

Answer they go behind

Me And check me

to make sure

I got it correctly.

They don’t

Believe somebody in a

Wheelchair can use

their brains

Just as good as

anybody

to function

Properly.

I know how it feels. I have a physical disability. A lot of times I will tell people something and then they will ask somebody else. I am like, "why are you doing that, if you just asked me and I told you the answer?"

they say ignorance is bliss, must be a lot of blissful people because like you I know a lot of ignorant fools who think one who is handicapped can't think or feel. Case in point,I have a blind friend who once had site,I've taken her out to dinner and people wonder why,hey she has to eat too! I've taken her in the mall shopping and over heard people say why she can't see. Doesn't mean she doesn't remember things or know the touch of things, I've taken her to a movie and people say why and I say it's no different then you listening to t.v. from another room you still know the plot and characters- see my point?
