I am not a good cripple
I am not brave or inspirational
I was not a courageous child
Nor injured in war
I do not bear my cross with grace and patience
My honesty is unpalatable, humour too morbid
Cousin Helen can go fuck herself
I create uncomfortable silences
There is no yearly event for me
My illness is not marketable
I am not “battling” anything
(It’s a war of attrition)
I am not a good cripple
Sympathy makes me sneer
I have to choke out thank yous
And pretend I don’t resent it

Hi Sall,
I’m sorry, I didn’t get any message from the BBC or anyone else until I saw these comments. I’ll have a read of what you’ve written.
