Poetry Ebook
Dear Readers,
I have always loved reading books. Unfortunately, when I was growing up, there weren’t enough books around that were about disabled people who knew how to use their abilities, while never forgetting their disabilities.
Being a writer, I have always dreamed of writing exactly that kind of book myself. So I bring you a little e-book of my own original poetry, called Listen To The Silence. Just like Same Difference, I hope that this book has something for everyone. I hope that DisAbled readers will be able to see parts of their lives, and their own thoughts, feelings and opinions, in this book, and that mainstream readers might learn something from these poems about our lives, thoughts and feelings.
Regular readers of Same Difference may have seen some of these poems before, as some have featured as blog posts in the past.
Listen To The Silence is available to download exclusively from Same Difference, for £2. Simply click the link below to download the ebook:
And please pay through PayPal by clicking the button below. (You don’t need a Paypal account, just card details. And please don’t worry if you’ve never shopped online before- Paypal is very safe).
Thank you!
Hslf of any money raised from the sale of the book will be used to maintain and improve this site, and half will be donated to disability related charities. If you wish to make a donation without buying the book, please visit the Home page.
Dear Sarah this is a well done job and I wish you success in your future endevours and Keep it up with the same.
Our prayers are always there for you.

Wonderful and deeply touching poems. Look forward to more.
Hi, Sara, I don’t think we’ve met, but your family and mine go back a long long way. I therefore felt honoured when your Dad invited me to look at your poems. I went through the first few poems and I can definitely say I’ll keep coming back until I’ve been through all of them. Poems need to be savoured and thoroughly enjoyed in a relaxed manner. That is why I’m taking my time with them. They are very thoughtfully written and they provide a voice to people with disabilities. Quite often, in the hurly burly of a hurried life, we tend to overlook the humanity that we all share, we tend to forget that all human beings, disabled people no less, have a worth in society, have an important contribution to make, and make our families and societies whole. It is really a disability not to be able to recognise this. Many many thanks for your powerful words. I do know that your family are very proud of your achievements, and now we have evidence in verse to justify this. May you be blessed with more succesful endeavours of a similar kind.
Dear Sarah
I was both delighted and humbled by meeting you recently. Since then I have gone through your blog and your inspirational poems. They have a message for all of us, the teachers who can only see the wheel chair and not the person in it, the politicians who are too occupied with their own careers and the millions, like myself, who is too busy to hear that unspoken word of the child in that room with yellow walls or the child in the playground who is unable to participate.
Wish you success.
