Just let me be .......

Stop fumbling and mumbling
I don’t need your coins
Nor the excuses you are giving, 
Spare me that look
I know you don’t care 
And I don’t even if you do.
I know I don’t have legs
But that’s no big deal, 
I’ve soared to heights
And toured places
You’ve only been to in your dreams; 
I know my eyes don’t see
But if only you had the chance
To peep into depths
Without eyes I can perceive, 
You will cease to wonder
From whence the strength to flash
That disarming smile comes.
The fact I don’t talk and walk
Or look the way you do
Doesn’t mean I’m beneath you; 
I’m special and in some ways
Even do surpass you, 
I’m proud of me
A unique being

So just let me be!

Really I know how it feels and I lived that so much! I`m happy to read this poem, and yes we have to be proud, even without eyes of "others" !! and without their legs, but we have our unique ways and let us be as every human beeing, to be free!

this is a great depiction of a person who is physically unlike regular people and who is looked down upon or repulsed. you give voice to the ones who can't. you allow us to get into their mind and realize that though to us they're invisible, they surpass us in many ways. great poem.

INdeed, we should just let him be, but then where would we be!

I love the end of this and how well it flows and rhymes. This idea is very unique and I could feel the emotion in it.

that's something very powerful. i can feel the intense emotions. you manage to capture the attention of the reader with how you crafted those words. :)
great write!!

Your start is strong, very immediate. You've captured a very authoritive and clean narrative persona which gets your messsage across nicely.
