"Cut your losses",
says someone I know.
"Find someone who
appreciates you."
That's good advice.
There's just one problem:
The thugs remain
to drive me insane.
I will not be
intimidated
into stillness
about illness,
the stigmatized
ignored and abused.
They need to change
how they short change
disabled people
in the campaigns and
the Party too;
let us break through.
They need to learn
a little critique
is not so bad,
no need to get mad.
Strong people grow
from criticism,
not run from it
or throw a fit.
All we want is:
not be shoved around,
be included,
not secluded.
