I am challenged.
I look, but can't see.
I smile without happiness.
I cry with no tears.
I wonder, but can't think.
I watch and can't blink.
I am challenged.
I change with no difference
I sense with no feeling.
I handle, but can't deal.
I love, but am numb.
I understand, but am confused.
I talk, but can't speak.
I do, but don't.
I have a life, but can't live it.

I meant "their" was a pun. Sorry these things just seem obvious to me. Uh since I wasted three comments... Ummmm.... Well unfortunately I am too homicidal due to cynicism induced by the poem to write anymore. I wish I could honestly say "sorry".
First off whoever is meant as a speaker needs to see a psychologist and re-evaluate their life. I understand the poem, but it increases my cynicism. No one has a life they can't live. Their is always a choice even if it doesn't sound "fun". The poem was pretty good except the "I am Challenged" and the second list. However the sentences were nice and even and you might want to boost this to 13. Ok, you should.
so i gave the contest winning to lay because her description and everything was marvelous, but so was yours. theres just something i cant explain about either of yours that makes me want to say here split it lol but i want you to keep entering my contests because your amazing like that.
also i had a question about the last few lines
when you say i am challenged it seems as if you are accepting it or something yet its as if you might be proud of thst?
i dont know lol
and o yes did i mention that you should message me sometime its been a while since we talked
and also i just wanted to clarify that I LOVE THIS POEM!!!
u rock my socks off
so the person below me was kind of rude in a sense, and people have been angering me with all these low ratings on everyones things, which is why i am afraid to submit
people say its great, dont tell us what to work on but then give us horrible ratings
i think this was a good poem and im glad his 2 star rating (messed up) didnt bring it down too much.
out of the contest peoples i like this one because it shows of something that could be there or something deep inside yourself or someone else you know
you really should stick to a sort of same style because it adds to the meaning and your sort of perspective/ take on life but there are 2 sides to every page
i personally loved it

Writing so eloquently about those who are challenged makes me wonder if you have one in your family? Or perhaps a neighbor, friend, or within a friend's family. I suppose we all know someone. I have worked around many that have been mentally and/or physically challenged, and have a few cousins that could be included in that category. It is good to be reminded of their circumstances, and that they are people too. Thanks for posting this.
Welcome !
