Pretty Petty’s Poem for the Disabled
Hello Pretty Pets, how are you doing?
Let us introduced ourselves: we’re Amanda D. Petty, Eric Brown, Anna Shepherd, and James W. Hill, and we’re poets. This is a very special issue or version that we’re doing. Eric, James, and I are disabled or handicapped too. If you want to know more about us, Amanda wrote a very powerful paper about “Being Handicapped”. Just click on this link: http://beinghandicappedessay.blogspot.com. In 2001, Amanda discovered poetry by an accident. In 2012, she thought of creating an online business: “Pretty Petty Poetry”. This version is a part of our business. Eric is taking over this issue.
The Lie
By-Eric Brown
Why do i feel this way?
Can i not be normal?
Am I defective?
Let me see if the person I live is a lie.
I feel like no matter what I do I never measure
Up to the standards I am supposed too.
Living a lie is not fun
Putting a smile on my face
All the time when I want to just cry.
Am I defective?
Is there hope?
Living just to breath.
I am not alive.
Being normal is never going to happen.
Living this lie to even try to be normal.
As I go to the pits of misery to weep.
I live for nothing.
I believe to live you have to have some kind of hope,
No hope, no belief of what I can become.
Living the lie.
The lie is alive.
