Shahana Jackson Poet Free verse

Ordinary

We fight each and everyday 
not to be ordinary

But think about all the
disabled kids who get 
surgical enhancements 
just so they can hear,feel 
and see the things we do. 

Were so stuck on getting 
the perfect noes and 
wearing the best clothes. 
Being ordinary to us clearly
blows.

But lets ask a deaf person or blind
which life they would have chosen. 
I know if the shoe could successfully
fit any of their toes ordinary 
would be like winning the lotto.

James Foulk August 5, 2008 at 11:21 AM a very good piece and how true. we need to be thankful for what we have, there is a lot of people out there that would give anything if they had feet or sight, we need to stop complaining and be grateful. a good piece you wrote.
