I can’t leave my room whenever someone’s sick Because of my phobias. I can’t participate in physical activities Because of my POTS. I can’t participate in social activities Because of my autism. I can’t participate in family dinners Because of my misophonia. I can’t participate in after school activities Because of my panic disorder. I can't wear a shirt that's actually my size Because of my dysphoria. No one sees these when they look at me. They just see a whiny, dramatic, oversensitive kid Who’s putting on a show to get attention. Well, I’m not. I’m tired of people criticizing me For my invisible disabilities. I’m tired of people making up their own stories About my personal life that they’ve never seen. They don’t know what’s going on inside my head, They don’t know what’s going on inside my body, They just know that I’m not in a wheelchair, And therefore I’m not disabled.
