Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Quite simply - beautiful! When You Laugh at Me WHEN YOU LAUGH AT ME When you laugh at me or make fun of me, you must not realize the effort I must produce to make myself close to your level of acceptance. I have to use all of my energy to be able to play with you. It will take me all night and sometimes all of the next day to rebuild my strength. When you laugh at me or make fun of the way I talk, you must not realize all of the speech therapy it has taken for me to speak this well. When you laugh at me or make fun of the way I walk, you must not realize the surgeries, years of braces and physical therapy to be able just to stand. When you laugh at me or make fun of the way I hold my hand, you must not realize that I don’t even know what the word gay means. When you laugh at me or make fun of me touching you, you must not realize that this disease is not transferred by touch. Sometimes I lose my balance. When you laugh at me or make fun of the way I am, you must not realize the pain that I feel inside. To think that nobody likes me. I pray that you never feel this way. When you laugh at me or make fun of me, you must not realize that my heart is breaking. When you laugh at me or make fun of me, you must not realize how I am trying so hard to be like you!
