Meri pehchan hai kya

Meri pehchan hai kya, Kisi ki beti kisi ki behen hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Ek viklang shareer hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Wo kehte hai parai hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya Wo kehte sab par bojh hu me. Me bahut likhti hu, Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Me apne liye sochti hu Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Jo wo kehte h, Wo meri pehchaan bn jaata h, Jo me kehti hu, Wo bas unsunaa sa ho jata h, Meri pehchan hai kya? Koi mujhse ye sawaal krta nhi Meri pehchan hai kya? Mujhe koi viklang kehne se darta nhi, Haan hu me viklang, Par mere sapne apaahiz nahi Haan hu me viklang, Par mere iraade apaahiz nahi, Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu chalti ho? Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu bolti ho, Sawaal p saawal h . Jawaab deke thak chuki hu, Jaao baatado inko ki me inke liye jee ke thaak chuki hu, Padhti hu, sochti hu aur likhti hu me, Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai Na aurat hu na viklang hu, Ek lekhakika hu me..... Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai..

Everywhere because I couldn't walk, I used to believe that walking was a gift .. that God forgot to shower on me, So.. I learned to compensate... Compensate the lack of walking, As walking was an unachievable goal, For someone with 60% disability, To the sense of listening and observing, When a kid first learn to walk.. He wants to discover something new, So did I when you learn to observe, I observed how people treated me, Some with love and some with ignorance, I realize people see me differently, I realize that they don't see my thought process, They just see the physical me, Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, I could then just see walls, Walls that I could hold on, To move
