Don’t feel
You need to pity
Me
My life
May have
Turned out
Differently,
But I’m here.
You may feel
The need
To judge
Me by my inabilities
But how fair is
That really?
Don’t just open
You’re eyes
And see
The wheelchair
And not the person
I’m a person too
I just sit
Instead
Of walk.

Your poems are always from life itself, from situations with which we can all feel identified, I appreciate each of your lines, and it is sad and hard to feel like the person of this poem, but life even when it is sad, even so it is beautiful. Without pain, you can not be happy. Nice poem.

Pity is also a feeling though, and I can't help but pity those in worse situations than myself, and I ask myself, and God, WHY???

There are people who are fault finders. You can't control them. You can't just say "don't".
