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.

This poem is very true. The way Eric puts it, just incredible. I can truly relate to this so easily. This poem touched me. Thank you, Eric.

This Life
By Eric Brown

The life of a person
That wonders if
They have the strength
to live one day longer.

Living the life
Of not being
Good enough
For others.

Nothing ever good
comes to me.

You feel
As if all
life is a bad joke.

This is the life
That no one
Has to live.

Turn to a friend,
Turn to a family member
Love yourself not hate.

This is the life that some
Of us battle daily.
Disabled, addict, sick.

Does not matter
Turn to light, not darkness.
Life is not horrible
Light is there
Look to the light.

Love you as you
Wished to be loved
The light is bright
Turn your eyes to it.

Know people love you.
Light breaks on the horizon,
Keep fighting and you will win.
This I say as a warrior
To the cause.
Warrior be bright and fight.
Fight and stay strong
I am fighting with you.
Fight, fight. fight.

Our lives are worth it.
live as you wish to live
you are stronger than anything.
