When you stare at me
Nudge your friend in surprise
Screw up your face when I am speaking
Presume I have limited mental capability
Because this is the first time you have seen a face like mine
Then you carry on with your day
Please stop and think about the person you’ve just seen
That person is me
You have seen Facial Palsy once today
I deal with your reactions dozens of times a day.
