~ By Sue ~ A lack of oxygen to her brain Is what caused her to be this way Locked in a world all her own With thoughts no one ever knows Not being able to express The feelings that she has inside She sometimes lashes out at us Unable to tell what's going on The anger is so clear to see Each time I look into her eyes If only she could say What she has inside her mind Her sugar went way up that night Then it went down way too low She looks at me with those sad eyes Then she lashed right out at me If only she could verbalize What she may feel inside I would not have these marks on me When she gets a hold of you The pinches are so hard Bruises are so visible And so are all the marks Patience is a virtue here So is understanding 6-13-03 |

Thank you Dixie for reading and responding. Yes, it is so sad. I work with the mentally challenged. That alone is a challenge. Especially when they are nonverbal. |

This poem of yours is filled with compassion and understanding. It reminds me of a poem by an author's name I can't recall. Something about going to Paris only to arrive unexpectedly in a foreign land. Beautifully done SmartChick~ |

This poem touched me. I am a clinican with mentally ill individuals AND my son is mentally ill. This was a beautiful way to express the pain we often see wonderful people struggle with. Great write. I am sure you give those you work with great light! ![]() Make your words as sweet as honey, someday you may have to eat them. |
