It's Life, I've Dealt, You Should Too by Starburst
You work so hard to deal with this thing,
The fact that you have it and the problems it brings.
So when you finally get control of this flaw,
Everyone around you seems to watch you in awe.
You never learn why its happened to you,
And you must work that much harder to make dreams come true.
But whats happened has happened, and its now part of life
So why give up in yourself, why live with such strife.
The best you can do is fight back twice as hard,
Just be careful, make right choices and play the right cards.
As they say what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger,
Its been here for awhile, itll be here for a while longer.
So why cant people see past this technicality,
Having problems with my breathing is now my specialty.
I should have a masters degree in what to do,
So please dont treat me any different, Im just the same as you.
When people have pity it just makes me feel sad,
Do you think it makes me feel better, well it makes me so mad.
I cant stand the fact that people look at me and stare,
What you dont think I can see you, oh I know youre there.
I know what I can, and cannot do,
So why try to stop me, its not up to you.
If I want to work my ass off until death,
Let it be that way, let me use my last breath.
Id rather go through life living, even if it is in pain,
Rather then sitting all day, slowly going insane.
So now that you know just how it has to be,
Are you going to treat me right, or like a baby.
I dont care what you think is the best thing to do,
If you cant support me and my choices, then the heck with you.
The fact that you have it and the problems it brings.

This poem is about how people tend to take pity on me because of my asthma. I just want people to treat me like anyone else because I'm a normal person who just has a breathing problem.

This poem really touched me because I have heart problems and I just found out that I may have a brain tumor too. And to go along with all that I just got mono and everyone seems to treat me differently because of the problems I have but I just want to live my life to the fullest and be treated the same as everyone else. - me. |

I really like how you don't care what other people think. You should do whatever you want regardless of what other people say, except if it is a doctor saying it. I think it is a very good and touching poem. Thanks for sharing it. - anonymous |

I really loved your poem. Before I read your comment on the overview of it, it made me think of my own problems. I have asthma too and my whole life people have told me that I will never get better and that I can't do this and that. I have proved all of them wrong every time. I will never fully "grow out" of it, as people say, but I have learned to control it better. If you believe you can do it you can and I hope you can get control of yours too. Thanks for letting people know how it is. - Cheyanne |

I like this poem so much. It touched me in a way that made me wanna cry. Being a teenager I have many relationship problems, school problems, and many family problems. The most thing I hate is when people stare but I am really admired by the words expressed in this poem. - Jamilah |

I have a bleeding disorder, and as a child I was always getting sympathy. On holiday I had to stay inside a read book, I wasn't allowed outside in the summer incase I had a nosebleed. I had to make sure I stayed cool and was forever sucking ice cubes! I hated the way people treated me, worried that they might catch it (you're born with it). I hated the way whenever I had a nosebleed people would start talking about when they last had them. The way they'd gasp when they saw blood. The way they'd ask if it hurt and they look ate me pityingly. I'm thankful that you've said what needed to be said an maybe ignorant people who read this will finally understand. Well done. - Nyasha |
