Special Needs Poem

Special Needs Poem

They say that I have “special” needs,

And while that’s partly true,

The needs that matter most to me,

Are the same ones you have to.

I NEED TO BE ACCEPRED.

I need friends that make me smile.

I need a chance to learn and grow,

Feeling valued all the while.

Sure, I need some extra help,

And some things I can’t do,

But I hope you see beyond all that  … 

Inside, I’m just like you.
