Oh, blind woman.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to never see
The colors
The sights
The world has to offer?
But, you are more accepting
For you can't judge people
Based merely on appearance
Oh, deaf man.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to never hear
The voices
The sounds
That the world has to offer?
But, you are more trusting
For you can see their actions
Instead of relying on words
Oh, mute girl.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to never speak
The words
The languages
That the world speaks?
But, you are able to communicate
With anyone
With actions, rather than words
Oh, crippled boy.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to never walk
Along the pathways
Never to run or skip
Wherever you please?
But, you don't need to walk.
You can see the world from a different view
And you can write, draw, paint, sing...
Oh, gay man.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to be shunned
From the 'normal' world
From the 'normal' people
For you lifestyle?
But, you can see.
You can see peoples true natures
When they realize what you are.
Oh, humanity.
Why have you been cursed?
Cursed to be judgmental.
To those who are
Different from you
Whether consciously or not?
But, you still strive.
To accept
The curses of the people around you.
I remember when you first showed me this poem... And I still like it just as much. This is a very powerful poem, and I don't understand why you think that you aren't good at writing, this poem shows how good you are. I like how you show the way that people do think of others and how you put into perspective the way that people, even those with disabilities, can see the world in a new light. This is one of my favorite poems from you. Please keep writing! Pretty please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember reading this poem! ZOMG! I love it still. Enter it in a contest... ENTER IT! It was like *POW!* in the face because that is how reality is! THey shun anyone who's different, and hate change. Change is good sometimes, but not everyone wants to accept change. This poem spoke to me today... Keep writing, ELEMIAH!!!!!!11!!!!one! *FAV*
