Itisinmyblood

Able

I too sing America
Though I am “disabled”
 
Dis is but a prefix
By itself it is nothing
 
Like the horsemen is headless
Dis is bodiless
 
Able by itself has meaning
Powerful, skillful, resourceful
 
I do not see myself as an incapable being
No one can stop me from trying
 
God gave me the heart of a lion
The willingness to try it all
Be it all
And live it all
 
I am Able to show you what I mean
Able to climb mountains and rise like a flag
Able to be what I want to be
Able to exceed all expectations
 
It hit me one day when I was lying on my bed
I can’t continue my life in a never-ending closet of self guilt
 
I was made for more
More than just sitting around and doing nothing
 
I was made to love
Made to love unceasingly and unconditionally

This poem is loosely inspired by my man Langston Hughes. I love his work so I thought what better way to honor him than writing a poem based on one of his.
