communication

meet people always go like this

carer say

then person talk to carer never me

but sometimes person say

Disability

NDIS

NDIS say

value for money

like we are property

like a price can be put on a life

like we don’t matter

People are valuable

wether they can work or not

life has value

no matter what

we all contribute

with our life

disabled are important

disabled are valuable

just as we are

no price can be enough

for my words

no price can be enough

for peoples lives

NDIS said choice and control

for me to choose

where I live

how I live

to be included in the community

I have not seen choice of my life

I have not seen control of my life

NDIS tried to put me in a home

This is not choice

this is not control

I have the right

to live

to exist

to be me in my way

to have a life a life that I want

NDIS has only been pain for me

fear

stress

NDIS is not working for me

it needs to change

for me

for everyone

lives are valuable as they are

always
