Who am I
By Trish Hubschman
March 2022
Note: This poem is an acrostic. It spells out DEAFBLIND.
Disabled, I am, no denying that.
Except I’m a person too.
Almost always people fail to see that.
Few even notice I exist.
But I do and I want to shout it out.
Look at me. Here I am.
I’m like everybody else.
Not perfect, but nobody is.
Disabilities don’t change what’s inside.

March 23, 2022this poem was hard to write. I wanted to write a poem in this style but I didn’t know what to write it about, then it hit me. I’m deafblind, so I decided to try my hand at doing an acrostic for deafblind. It wasn’t easy but in the end it came out great.
