We'ere All Equal

I am a special little boy.
Born with all my body parts.
But I lost some of them.
Stare at me.
I looked diverse from you,
For I am a paralyzed
You only see the outside of me
If I can only express myself
I will tell you who I am inside.

Would you believe we're so the same?
My looks may be different no matter,
But my feeling are the same from you
I laugh and cry
And I take pride in my gains
I too suffer from pain and hunger
Drinking water when thirst is my desire,
I smile when pleasure comes,
But I cannot help you to be happy.

If you look at me,
You'll be pitiful on me.
But I don't want sympathy
I need respect for what can I do,
For who I am right now.
Treat me as a human,
No doubts', no limitations
love also other disables
With all your hearts
If you and I need it
They too.
