Autopsy of a Broken Soul

She was found in a room closely resembling her own

Covered in bruises she didn't remember getting.

Legs stuck to the bed, knowing they should move but not knowing how

Arms spread like she was Jesus, or maybe, just maybe, she was surrendering to someone.

While he was stealing the most sacred parts of her,

Did she beg him to stop with every fiber of her being?

Did she plead with him to at least spare her life?

Did she even get the chance?

I wonder what the coroner found when he cut her open

I bet he found a graveyard of butterflies built up in the pit of her stomach.

Bet he found fires erupting from the rope burns on her wrists

Found prayers trapped in her lungs.

Did he know that girl was a fighter?

Did he know that girl was me?

"Well actually being kind is never hard if you're a good person-" and yet it's obvious that you struggle to expand that kindness to people who genuinely struggle with the things you personally find to be easy... Interesting

hot tip: when someone else makes a post about disability don't reblog it with an addition that boils down to "this makes me understand why people commit suicide". that's an inside thought, or a separate post even.

imo the state monitoring your private messages is basically on the same level as opening and reading physical mail or perhaps breaking into your house to install bugs and cameras

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

autism tests are so funny. I'm extremely literal most of the time, but people don't tell me that generally, so I'm inclined to answer disagree. because I'm taking the statement too literally

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

[teaboot]

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off
