My Other Poems

Give Us a Chance

 

You need to give Mentally Challenged people a chance.

If you don’t they won’t learn to dance.

If you pass us on the street

Say hi.

We will say hi back to you.

Some of us are shy to strangers.

But if you start the conversion

We just might say something back to you.

 

For, if you don’t give us a chance.

We won’t feel good about ourselves inside.

And not do the things we were met to do in life.

If know one encourages us to be the best we can be.

Or go beyond our bonders of what we can do.

We won’t do anything to improve are lives.

Or won’t do things that keep us fit and active for are lives.

 

Little Girl

 

A little girl is setting by herself

Because she thinks know one will play with her.

She asked someone to play with her

But another little girl came up and said

“No you can’t play with her”.

 

The little girl went inside

And cried for the rest of the time.

She wondered what was wrong with her.

 

I am someone

 

I am someone who had a disability.

I can do most things you can do.

I am just Mentally Challenged.

Having a disability does not stop me

From doing things I was mint to do.

 

I am someone who likes to swim

For the fitness it brings.

But needs help with my strokes.

 

LIFE

 

Why does life seem to be unfair?

Why does life seem to be so hard?

Why can’t I do anything right sometimes?

Why can’t life be on the easy track?

Why did God make me the way I am?

 

God made life so hard

So we would learn from are mistakes.

He wants us to find are own way in the world.

Even if it takes us a lifetime to find are own way

In this world.

 

If you’re still searching for answers.

Weather it’s looking for a job you enjoy

And, or being happy at that job.

Finding that one true place

Where you belong in life.

Or, finding and shearing for that one person

That’s like you and or for you.

 

Whatever it is in life you’re searching for.

Let God know.

He will answer you when you’re ready to hear Him.

Even if that my take what seems like a lifetime.

Give Him a chance and He will hear you.

 

So when you are at your worse.

Talk to God.

You may never know what might happen next.

I might have a hard time believing that.

But I will learn someday.

And you will too.

 

What Life Wants

 

God wants me to be similar to everyone else

When I was a girl I didn’t understand

Why God made me with a disability

I just wanted to be like everyone else

 

I would come home from School,

Tell my mom

“Why did God make me this way”?

 

I understand now

That God wants me to teach

Others about Mentally Handicapped people

Like me, because they can’t

 

Yes, it takes me longer to learn

But I can learn

We all can learn

Some of us our just much slower than others

 

I would like people

To not judge others

Just because some are very different

 

I just needed some extra help starting out in life

I still do just not as much

But others will need help

With simple everyday things for life

 

I long for a relationship

That I can share my feeling with him

Which is hard for me to do

Because I lock my feeling up inside

When I was little,

I need help to get them out

Writing is the only thing I can think of

And I’m a romantic at heart
