I may,
stutter when speaking,
stumble when walking.
I'm human I say,
please,
Don't look my way!

My mother taught me if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. We are not here as pros, we are here to share our art and have fun. *grin*

A fab piece, I was also brought up with that saying...and I have lived my whole life by it. This is a great poem, with impact as you read, well penned

If people would quit looking at a persons disability and look to the person inside the world would be a better place to live. Amazing write

Nice write. I know what you mean. I use a walker that has wheels so I can move at a good pace, but the stares are still there. Thanks for sharing with us.

Are you saying, "Don't look my way!" because people often stare rudely at others who have obvious disabilities. This is what I get out of it. I loved the insistence that, 'I'm human I say,". Very moving and a little sad. It's a good write, based on the prompt and the word limitation. I loved the title too! It fits the write perfectly.

Yes, you read it perfectly. Exactly that, all to often we are stared at for just being different. But the world needs to see, we are human, we have feelings, and there's no need to treat us differently. Thank you for the comment. Hugs~Nikki

hey... that's me.
intriguing title, not sure what to make of it, but it's great. snappy little poem. undecided over whether i like the snap better than what might be accomplished if it were expanded on a bit. anyways, struck by the first few lines, feel like could come to more of a conclusion, i don't know.
