Pretty Petty’s Poem for the Disabled
Hello Pretty Pets, how are you doing?
Let us introduced ourselves: we’re Amanda D. Petty and Eric Brown, and we’re poets. This is a very special issue or version that we’re doing. We are disabled or handicapped too. Amanda has Spastic Cerebral Palsy. Eric has High Functioning Autistic. 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.
I know there are many people who are new to the handicapped world. For those who are new, we, Eric and I, are very sorry. We know how you feel.
A Broken Time
By-Amanda D. Petty
Tic, tock, tic, tock.
Lord, where did my life go?
Once, an able body.
Now, a broken time on a disabled wall.
Tic, tock, tic, tock.
Oh Father, help me, depression holds.
Once, a playful, cheerful, person.
Now, black skies hovers my eyes.
Tic, tock, tic, tock.
God, how can I go on?
Once, freedom.
Now, trapped.
Tic, tock, tic, tock.
