I’ve spent days sifting through the vast sea of creators, wondering whose essence to capture in a single shoutout for completing my third task of #BlogchatterWrapParty. It wasn’t easy, for there are many whose voices have resonated deeply, whose words have woven intricate tapestries. So, I took a different route. Instead of plainly naming the creators, I’ve spun riddles, cloaked in mystery, for each participant of the #IDPD2024Bloghop whose entries have been published so far. A masked shoutout, if you will. And now, it’s a game—a dance of words where you must unravel the riddle and find your reflection in it. Can you identify yourself and others in this cryptic celebration? The challenge begins. Join the game.
I witness the silence in voices unheard,
In a world too quick to ignore each word.
A caregiver’s heart, a guide through the dark,
I see the light where others miss the mark.
On this day, I reflect, not just to observe,
But to challenge the norms, to shift and preserve.
Authentic stories must rise, must be known,
For an inclusive world is where all can be shown.
I stand for a world where we all take part,
Where barriers are broken and love fills the heart.
Who am I, who calls for a world that’s true,
Where every soul’s potential shines through?
In a world of silence, I amplify cries,
Unseen battles through a mother’s eyes.
Bound by love, yet shackled by care,
I tell of burdens too heavy to bear.
Through pages of truth, I seek to ignite,
Empathy’s flame in the coldest of night.
Who am I, weaving tales of hidden strife,
Calling for a world of inclusive life?
A mother’s heart, once heavy with doubt,
Wrestled with truths she couldn’t shut out.
A journey began, from darkness to light,
Seeking understanding, embracing the fight.
With love as her compass, she advocates clear,
For those often unseen, and voices unclear.
In a land where awareness takes its slow stride,
She calls for empathy, with nothing to hide.
Who is she, who stands firm and bold,
For the children whose stories remain untold?
I hold the silence where voices can't break,
A world of thoughts, yet no words to make.
In the quiet, there’s a story untold,
Of dreams and desires, both timid and bold.
Through Apurva’s journey, I see the light,
A call to widen the world, to make it right.
For those who cannot, I stand in their place,
To give their unspoken a voice, a space.
I ask you to listen, to see with your heart,
To break down the walls that keep us apart.
Who am I, who calls for a world to embrace,
Where every soul has a voice, a place?
I am the echo of a silence profound,
Where the world speaks loud, but I hear no sound.
I walk in the shadows, yet never alone,
For in the depths of quiet, my strength is shown.
They call me “other,” a label they cling,
But I am not less, nor lessening a thing.
In spaces where voices are quick to define,
I seek the light where all souls align.
I am not a pity, nor a cause to defend,
But a story that asks you to listen, not bend.
I am a part of the whole, not a piece that’s apart,
A being with depth, a world full of heart.
Who am I, who seeks no sympathy,
But calls for inclusion in all that we see?
I see the walls that divide and confine,
Barriers built, but they need not define.
I call for a world where all can belong,
Where strength is found in a united song.
Through understanding, we tear down the line,
Fostering a place where all can shine.
Support is the bridge that helps us ascend,
And dignity, the path that we all can tend.
I stand for a future, fair and bright,
Where every soul is given their right.
Who am I, who calls for a world to be,
Where inclusivity sets every spirit free?
In the shadows of privilege, a truth lies concealed,
A world where access and dignity are often repealed.
He speaks for the voiceless, whose rights are denied,
Calling for change, where no one’s pushed aside.
With a vision of equity, he calls to the crowd,
To challenge the norms, to speak and be loud.
For a life where inclusion is not just a plea,
But a way of being, for all to be free.
Who is this voice, who dares to defy,
The limits of privilege, and reach for the sky?
I move through shadows, yet I bring light,
A voice for those in endless night.
Where burden lingers, I weave my thread,
Stories of care, for hearts that have bled.
A mirror to struggles, a beacon of grace,
Who writes to honor the caregiver’s space?
In the echoes of laughter, I heard the sting,
A child’s pain where joy should spring.
Shadows of judgment clouded my days,
In a world that turned from inclusive ways.
Now I call for spaces that heal,
For voices to rise, for hearts to feel.
Who am I, sharing this story of plight,
To build a future where all shine bright?
I’ve seen the struggle, the silent fight,
A child misunderstood, lost in the night.
With delays that shadow, and challenges to face,
Yet a mother’s love lights the darkest place.
Through bullying’s sting and misdiagnosis’ chain,
She built a bridge to ease the pain.
A routine, a strength, her son’s guiding light,
Showing the world a path through the night.
I call for awareness, for systems to change,
For classrooms to bend, and minds to arrange.
Who am I, who advocates with care,
That every child’s journey is met with fair?
A child’s quiet plea, unheard in the haze,
Her vision blurred, lost in a silent maze.
Dismissed by the ones who should have seen,
Her struggle, invisible, like a fading dream.
Now she speaks, with wisdom profound,
To listen, to notice, when children are found.
In a world that rushes, too quick to care,
She calls for parents to truly be there.
Who is the voice, who urges the wise,
To hear the unspoken, and open their eyes?
I wield no blade, yet I can heal,
Or carve wounds too deep to conceal.
With words as my armor, I fight the disdain,
Shattering stigma, easing the pain.
I call for kindness in all that we say,
To guide the lost on their weary way.
Who am I, championing language’s might,
To turn darkness into compassionate light?
I met a soul with wings unseen,
Bound by a world both cruel and mean.
Her laughter rose where hope seemed faint,
A living canvas no sorrow could paint.
Through her, I found a mission to strive,
For a world where all can truly thrive.
Who am I, sharing her story so bright,
To kindle respect and shatter the night?
I rise above what they say I cannot do,
A cricketer, a leader, breaking through.
Not bound by labels, nor shaped by the norm,
I craft my own path, beyond the storm.
They speak of limits, they speak of defeat,
But I turn those words into something sweet.
Empathy, not pity, is what I seek,
For all to thrive, not just the meek.
In spaces we’ve built, where no one’s denied,
I stand as a voice, where all can reside.
Who am I, who pushes through the walls,
So every soul may stand tall?
I’ve witnessed the shift, from shadows to light,
Where once there was neglect, now inclusion takes flight.
From ancient times to the Industrial Age,
I’ve seen how attitudes have turned the page.
Special needs once hidden, pushed far away,
Now seek a place where they can truly stay.
I call for education that blends, not divides,
Where every child’s potential is nurtured and guides.
I stand for a future, where all can grow,
In schools where support and understanding flow.
I dance through life on a daring trail,
Defying the limits others unveil.
With love as my compass and joy as my guide,
I shatter the myths where doubts reside.
A voyager of dreams, a creator of art,
Who am I, proving life’s fullness of heart?
A tale of a woman, once close to her kin,
Whose voice was forgotten, left out in the din.
Neglected, unseen, her presence erased,
Until silence claimed her, no trace to be faced.
Her story, a mirror to those left behind,
In a world too quick to ignore and unwind.
With urgency, she calls for a change to take root,
To lift those forgotten, and give them their due.
Who is the storyteller, who dares to implore,
That no one should vanish, unseen evermore?
In a crowded place, a moment unfolds,
A world’s indifference, a mother’s hold.
Through her child’s eyes, I’ve come to see,
The beauty in neurodiverse harmony.
A voice for kindness, a plea for care,
Who am I, urging compassion to share?
I’ve seen the numbers, a truth we can’t ignore,
More than nations like Qatar, Namibia, and more.
A population unseen, yet vast and wide,
Their voices quieted, their struggles denied.
I urge you to reflect, to act with grace,
For being ‘abled’ is luck, not a superior place.
We must treat each soul as an equal, with care,
Offering compassion, support, and fair share.
I stand for a world, where no one’s left behind,
Where kindness and empathy are redefined.
Through a mother’s pain, I came to see,
A world unkind to those aged like a tree.
Steps too steep, doors too narrow,
Care that lags where time does harrow.
I speak for the elders, their dignity, their place,
Who am I, calling for an inclusive space?
In the realm of minds and hearts,
A voice emerges, where empathy starts.
Not bound by walls, nor by sight,
His words shine with compassionate light.
From a youth shaped by unseen hands,
He speaks of strength that understands.
Through trials, struggles, and unseen scars,
He teaches that we all can reach the stars.
Who is he, who calls us to see,
That passion and potential roam wild and free?
