Inside vs. Outside
JakeThe feelings I have inside are not easy ones to let out BUT THIS IS ME!
If you asked ME what is the FIRST THING people notice when I MYSELF enter a room it would and IS my LIMB and FISTED hand because of my cerebral palsy a physical disability
Often NOT ALWAYS the FIRST THING JAKE SEES is being treated DIFFERENTLY, but THIS IS ME I do not know any differently!!!
It’s easy for me to say I should be treated the SAME as others whose differences you can NOT SEE
Unfortunately oftenbNOT ALWAYS the WORLD does NOT teach enough about SOCIETY and how WE are ALL BORN DIFFERENTLY!!!
mine is just one you SEE!
I hope that WE can keep the MAIN thing the MAIN thing and that is we ALL have a heart
So I ask ALL to please let that be the MOST IMPORTANT thing WE SEE
With Utmost LOVE & GRATITUDE

This is such a beautiful story. All too often we judge people superficially. This is a soulful reminder that we are not our bodies, but rather our hearts. Thank you for putting your love into this poem. Keep it up 🙂
