Invisible Battles
Ableism is an awful thorn in our society,
A belief that some should be treated differently
It jabs and then seeps, forcing the disabled to sit quietly
Leaving those who are different crying clinically

Building stairs without ramps, doors without handles,
Trying to hurt them physically
Laughing as the disabled are getting trampled
Robbing them of their "undeserved" tranquility

Putting the lives of service animals in harms way
Bringing untrained pets into stores
Sometimes I wish people like that would just decay
Please, we don't want to, but we could start a war

And some people give backhanded compliments
"Oh that's so nice that you have friends!"
Calling us inspirations, all we did was have...
