HANDICAPPED

Why was I born into this world of bias
The world I live in is unfair
For me to be whole and complete is all I ask
The 'whole' live without showing care
With this infirmity good things I now lack
if I had, everyone knows I would share
I wish I could turn the hands of time and go back
And maybe the world around will know this pain I cannot bear

There i was sitting and thinking deeply
When am I going to walk without leaping
Without wishing I could be a better me
Because all the things around me makes me tired of me.
When am I going to walk pass others without them looking at me with scornful eyes as if to kill
When am I going to walk right without having to depend on my knees
When am I going to stand on my own without putting my hope on sticks
And it breaks my heart to know that I can't run with my friends on the street

Deep in my thought as I felt a warm fluid flowing from my eyes through my chick
See this made me feel sick
Wondering who I might have displeased to get this
And maybe when I please him i will get peace

As persons came close to me they cried
But why I tried to decode
but I couldn't hear the slightest sigh
Some said I was getting old
But they lied
Because have faith I was always told

Having questioned 'those' that brought me to this world
Where I was odd of them all
They said to me "hold on and stand tall"
I asked myself " how can I stand tall when my legs are deformed "
It even pained me the more
When one of them said " the pains won't last long "
Oblivious of the fact that I've been with the pain since I was born

Finally years passed by as my bones got dried
With grey hair itching to be changed by a black dye
As I said to myself ' I can't continue with this type of life '
And the thought came to my mind
Take " Nerve Gas Sarine combined with VX and it will be a long night
I took it and I felt a strange strength in my deformed hands going straight for my neck
Again the strange strength moved my deformed legs
Coughing continuously as a white substance flowed from my mouth
There my whole life flashed before my eyes
With a small voice saying you ended your life
With no strength left to cry
I DIED
