Special Olympics

Do you have a disability?
Do you feel like an outsider?
If you amswered yes to both questions,
I have news for you. You are not alone.

I know some people, with disabilities.
They all belong in an organization called Special Olympics.
I ama member of the same, and it helps me bring out the real me.
I go and have fun with my fellow athletes and we try our hardest.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but all the time, we have fun.
What is the point of winning if you don't have fun?
Softball, bowling, basketball, track & field,
It doesn't matter to me, as long as I have fun.

Winning feels real great, I can relate to that,
But, if you didn't have fun as you competed,
Then inside you feel like a loser, sometimes.
Also, be proud of yourself when you do any competition.

The athletes that I am aquainted with are incredible individuals.
Some can't help thet they are different.
Glasses, hearing aids, and wheelchairs don't make a difference at all.
They are not dorks, nerds, or vegetables.

On the inside, that is where you must look for a person's personality.
People look at the disabled and laugh at them.
No one reallly understands them, and the bullies get judgmental.
Some of us are really sensitive with our emotions.

What may be a joke to a bully, can be an insult towards disabled.
I guess what I am trying to imply here is that you must not be a judge,
Being a jerk to a disabled person just makes them terrified more.
Plus, if you just gave them a chance, they can teach you about life.

If you meet a person with a disability, put yourself in their shoes,
Try your best to understand the struggle that they had to endure,
And just give them a chance, if you do, you wont regret it.

Before you judge people, and this includes everyone, get to know them,
Ask questions, and never judge anyone because of their appearance.
Because you might be denying a kind person a friend to talk to.

Take my advice and don't judge.
