Key of Disability By: Josalyn Alvarado
We are keys each one of us. We are all made by the Great Black Smith. Some of us who you say have a disability They were simply made with a different pattern Engraved with swirls and veins. We still are all keys. Made to open a great treasure. The chest has hundreds of locks. We all must open it. There are no two keys that are alike. We can not unlock the same things. The condition keys can lock up but we can not let that happen! How can we reach our goal if everyone is not there? One lock can only be touched by one key. Every day keys are being made with new designs. The question isn’t how bad is it? But is it bad? Couldn’t it be good to stand out to be different. Or is it better to be like everyone else. We will never know the keys do what keys do best, they lock up their secrets. The greatest secret they can keep is them. We will never know their thoughts, their dreams, their fears, and their longing for the truth. All we know is that they have them and whatever their thoughts, dreams, fears are they making the keys no less of a key. The greatest secret we can keep locked is our true selves. That is one secret that we need to break the lock on.
