I thought I'd write this, to finally bare myself as me, not someone I lead people to believe....
A secret of mine, that I'm revealing.....
I say more and more that I'm perfect.
That no scars live on this skin, or heart.
That nothing is wrong, that I'm great.
Never how close I am to falling apart.
I can pretend with the best of them.
Never revealing the me thats truly true.
Never did I show what I truly feel.
Never did I truly tell, not even to you.
I'm far from perfect, far from whole.
Far from being normal, or even truly sane.
I have more secrets then you know,
some I pretend don't even remain.
I'm me, with this scar and all, I will no longer hide.
I have a "disablility" but it doesn't disable me.
I may not look like you, or hear like you.
But your pity is something I don't wanna see.
I was born with a hole in my lip, and mouth.
But I still speak,I still feel, I still draw air.
I may have what they call a cleft lip and palate,
but my heart still truly cares.
My "disability" doesn't disable me.
I can't hear like you, or never will.
I can still see the pity when you think of me.
Please that is what I wanna kill.
Don't pity me, for I may be different.
Like me for being the same as you.
Cause i feel, see, and hurt just like you.
Just accept me as me, all the way through.
So now you know my secret, the real me.
Don't look at this and think you should cry.
Cause pity isn't something I want, or desire.
Pity is the emotion I never wanna see in your eye.
SO accept me as I am, don't pass judgement.
Just don't laugh at, pity, or talk about, me.
I am normal, in my own right.
How can I make you see?
I may only hear 50% and look a little different.
But I feel, and I hurt, and I live,
Don't look at me different now that you know.
Just watch and see, see what I can give.
Understand even tho I am different, I'm the same.
Accept me for me, not my "disability".
Please just look at me, look in my eyes.
And for once, truly SEE ME!

Yes, I was born with a "disability" and a cleft lip and palate. My one ear is completely deaf, and they other has a 20% loss in it. But I get by,I still live.
My cleft has been long since been fixed, but I still have the scars to make that fixing, that ordeal. I can hide it with make-up but choose not to....I want people to TRULY see me, for me....See please just accept me for me....
