We grow where others cannot stand

A poem about living with disability and long-term health conditions.

Joel Nelson
Apr 8, 2022

We are limited.
We are disappointed.
We are set back.

We are frustrated
And disadvantaged;
We are stifled, often flat.

We can be disabled,
Cut down,
Dealt an unfair hand…

But we continue to grow where others could not stand.
