Very Dull's story

I am society

I will decide if you are disabled or not

By giving you forms and medicals and trips to the hospital

I will make buildings with stairs and inaccessible transport.

I will make unwritten rules so that if you behave differently you will be excluded and isolated from other people.

I am society

I am all powerful, I will make being normal a good thing and being different bad.

I will make laws to protect you, and benefits to provide you an income

But it will make it so hard to get these things they are just meaningless words on pieces of paper.

I am society, and I don’t like disability

Disability costs money

And I have better things to spend it on

I will make things difficult for you so you will want to become like everyone else because normal is good and different is bad.

I am a disabled person

And I don’t like you society

You make my life difficult,

But you know what society?

I’m on your case

Me and others, WE are on your case

We are disabled people

And we are fighting back

Together, we are stronger.

We are disabled people and we are living proof that difference is a good thing

Yes, we are not well, and yes we may need support that costs money

But let us tell you society

We ARE worth it.
