Why do you look at me, like I’m scum of the earth
When I walk down the street, you take a wide berth
Am I so ghastly, such a hideous sight
Would it be better, if I came out at night

It’s not my fault, I was born this way
Disfigured at birth and being made to pay
Tumours on my head, a hump on my back
You look at me afraid, that I might attack

I’m not vicious, grudges I don’t bare
I have a good heart, feelings, I care
Give me a chance, I’m sure you’d like me
Given half a chance, a good friend I could be

My life won’t be long, but, loneliness kills too
I’m not asking for pity, a simple hello would do
Maybe a natter, my mind is intact
I'm as perfect as you and that's a fact [comments] => 2 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 13 [informant] => parkman [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Given Half A Chance

Why do you look at me, like I’m scum of the earth
When I walk down the street, you take a wide berth
Am I so ghastly, such a hideous sight
Would it be better, if I came out at night

It’s not my fault, I was born this way
Disfigured at birth and being made to pay
Tumours on my head, a hump on my back
You look at me afraid, that I might attack

I’m not vicious, grudges I don’t bare
I have a good heart, feelings, I care
Give me a chance, I’m sure you’d like me
Given half a chance, a good friend I could be

My life won’t be long, but, loneliness kills too
I’m not asking for pity, a simple hello would do
Maybe a natter, my mind is intact
I'm as perfect as you and that's a fact

You prove that you are that by your words.

People who judge a book by its cover miss out on its contents.

This was a very well written work. Great flow and rhymes made it a pleasure to read. Add a great message and you have a work of art.

Very well done

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
