Self-Advocates Sonnet
Shall I consider how my day is spent
in this land, far and great and wide
where I seek what others try to hide
examining where rules and ethics bent
twisted, reworded my nature present
while armed with truth, I speak to
chide
too often, my voice cut off, silenced,
denied
shouted down by demands for births
mine-kin prevent
whilst ignoring human rights, the
basics we need
another sigh of patience, I maintain to
do my best
to advocate, create changes to the
current state
of services, supports, implement at too
slow speed
I tire, but have far to go before I
dare to rest
For the sake of life, we cannot afford
to wait
