One of the reasons for suffering is to prevent us from learning too much of others and not enough of ourselves. Pain eventually compels us to wonder: Is a cause-effect principal operating in my life? Are my troubles due to my wrong-doing?- Paramahansa Yogananda

I Love Being Me
by Gemma Hayton I can't run the fastest I can't swim the sea I can't type the quickest but I love being me I can't kick a ball or even climb a tree I can't roll in the grass but I still love being me You see, this is my life as others would see they don't know what it's like to really be me So next time I'm about rolling down the street don't think of me disabled but someone cool to meet I have lots I can teach you I have loads I can share you will never gain my wisdom if you just point and stare So maybe I can't run the fastest maybe I can't kick a ball but I wouldn't change being me not for you, not at all |

Child Abuse SUCKS!
Abuse Poem A Daughter shares her story of abuse at the hands of her Mother I Have A Secret © Ciara Coper Mother is there when I get home from school, I'm happy there, hyper and playing the fool. But as I pull on the handle and turn the key, I feel a sense of dread and fear fill me. I have a secret, a dark one, A secret I've never told anyone. Everyday when I come home, Mother waits till I'm alone, Then she'll hit me with a spoon or shoe, Till I bleed, till I'm black and blue. Dad left us when I was three, Since then all she's done is blame it on me. I'm ugly, stupid, tarty, and fat, It was my fault he left us, "You hear that you brat?!", With a duck and a dive, I sometimes manage to swerve, But I know in the end I'm going to, "Get what I deserve". Hospital a few times, "I was playing with my brother", It's one lame excuse after another. One of these days, I'm going to break free, One of these days, I'll be truly happy. But until then I tell no one, I have a secret, I'm not telling anyone. Poem Source: I Have A Secret, Abuse Poems http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/sad...#ixzz13RLLV77k |

I could cry salty tears ;
Where have I been all these years ? Little wow, tell me now : How long has this been going on ? There were chills up my spine, And some thrills I can't define. Listen, sweet, I repeat : how long has this been going on ? Oh, I feel that I could melt ; Into Heaven I'm hurled ! I know how Clombus felt, Finding another world. Kiss me once, then once more. What a dunce I was before. What a break ! For Heaven's sake ! How long has this been going on ? Dear, when in your arms I creep, That divine rendez-vous, Don't wake me, if I'm asleep, Let me dream that it's true ! Kiss me twice, then once more. That makes thrice, let's make it four ! What a break ! For Heaven's sake ! How long has this been going on ? How long has this... been going ... on ?... . —How Long Has This Been Going On?, George Gershwin |

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~Dylan Thomas |
