This video is the centerpiece of the following blog post. Please read it first and, because the video is silent other than the music, I have added a textual description beneath the blog link that follows or in the text of the blog post. http://www.leftybydefault.com/2011/04/17/regurgitation/
In the video, I am flipping pages of a pad of paper with the following words written on them:
"Regurgitation" by Laura Overstreet
Ableism is...
Silencing...
Minimizing...
Dis-empowering...
Invisibility...
Burden...
FEAR...
Sympathy...
Pity...
Entitlement (of the able)...
Self-centeredness...
Inequality...
Unrealistic expectations...
WE are... SCREAMING inside
Invisible
Silently aching
Discouraged from exposing our truths
Negated & Denied
SO scared
Feared
Trapped, bound
Burdensome
Not acknowledged
WE are BEAUTIFUL.
But do YOU know it?
Do YOU silence US?
Do YOU rob US of control?
We are NOT the same
That's OK
YOU could be US someday
Acknowledge difference
and power differences.
Witness OUR pain & truths
WE will witness YOURS.
