I'm an indie writer whose genre is poetry and prose. Physically limited and have Dysarthria. From an early age, I have endured sexual abuse, arrogance and ignorant discrimination against me. When I was sixteen, I accidentally discovered I could write poems. I started writing poetry as a way to express myself without struggling to get the words out. My thoughts could now be heard as my perfect voice and I could speak without embarrassment. I felt and still feel “free” when writing poetry and I have found my voice.
To be disabled in the twenty first century is challenging and Cleo Patra knows all too well the path which she is on holds its own challenges. Cleo Patra hopes her writing will break down the stigma-walls, which surrounded the disabled communities worldwide and by doing that inspires more aspiring, disabled indie authors to share their talents with the world.
