    Poem Commentary

    This is how I feel most of the time. I still wait for the final question to be answered.

    Why Can't I?

     Tears stream down my face.
    I just feel so out of place.
    Why can't I be like the others?
    Why don't I fit in like my sisters and brothers?
    It seems that everyone looks down on me.
    They just don't see the real me.
    Who I am inside
    If they all realized
    That I'm more than just a nameless joke
    Maybe they would stop and think
    Before they started to tease and poke.
    I'm more than just a pair of eagle eyes
    Watching out for the others from the top of the slide
    Can't they see the bleeding heart inside of me?
    When will they, if they will ever, see
    How much they have hurt me?

    Great Poem! I, too, like the pain that you manage to portray here. I do have an answer for you, if I may. You can't... because God created you uniquely. You, and only you... are you. Thanks for sharing.

    People that are stubborn and cold hearted, always get what they deserve. God doesn't let that get passed him. Terrific poem!
