I am more than what you see, but how will you ever know?

I am at a physical or mental disadvantage. People have trouble understanding what I am saying or they ignore me. But do you think that this will stop me from showing the world who I am, who I can be? I am very familiar with the rules that society has for us. I am all too aware of the myriad of influences causing these beliefs, yet I have difficulty participating. This virtual world frees me from the constraints of my body and allows me to set my disability aside for a while. I can practice here. I can become a person like any other. I can even find people like myself with the same problems who will hopefully understand what I am going through in the real world. And when I get up from the computer, I have changed a little. I will make my voice heard and this is a safe space where I can learn how to do it. I can learn how to navigate the constraints of society here and transfer my knowledge to find a place for myself.
