You and I... A poem for Fragile X Friday

I first posted this in August of 2008. I am posting it again in honor of Fragile X Friday.

You and I
I am strong, but you see weak.

I have a voice but you do not hear me

I can learn if your willing to teach me

You can learn from me if your willing to be taught

You and I are the same but you treat me differently

I have small feet but they can fill big shoes

I am faced with mountains, you call them mole hills.

I have limited patience, you are impatient with me.

You expect me to seek friendship, but you don’t want to be my friend.

You wonder why I am staring at you, it’s because you won’t stop looking at me.

I want to love you, but you don’t want to like me.

I am Fragile, you see broken

I am a child, and you are all around me.
-Bethany Euglow
