Your Mental Disability

is not a disability to me

be it PTSD

or Bi Polar

or Anxiety Depression

or just riding Solo

 

it's not a disability to me

it may play havoc

with my everyday life but

it's not an impediment

or an indication

that you lack ability

to deal with living strife

 

it's not a disability to me

it's more a heightened empathy

a conscious awareness

not a disease (some cases can be)

but not a disability to me

 

it just means your fortitude

takes you to the next level

when the ground falls

beneath your feet

you don't lay down to grovel

you find ways to make

a near endless day

better than it was yesterday

you praise all tomorrows

because you made it today

 

your mental disabilty

has never been a disability

to me

in any way

I don't see you as anything other than the person I love. We all change as we go along :)
