wow, this is a great poem and i can totally relate to it! ive had asthma pretty much my whole life but i never let it get me down! despite what people said in the beginning, like they didnt think i should do it or could do it, i didnt let them keep me from cheering, playin soccer, and just everyday activities i love!

Phylicia

This poem is so great. My sisters have this some thing, but they don't get made fun of as much b/c they don't do to school yet, but it will soon start. I pray to GOD that it won't.

Yea, go you! I know exactly what you are saying. I am visually impared and people give me pitty or treat me like heck. I am never going to let that get me down. I do not know why it happened to me, I was born with it. i cannot help it. I am no different than anyone esle. i play sports like any other. I am in the school band. I love your aproach on it, good job!

Angie

Fabulous! What else can I say? I have 4 different diseases, all of which are incurable and hey, it sucks, but I'm gonna have them for the rest of my life, so why should I waste what life I have left? Your poem says exactly what I want to say, but couldn't find the words to say it. Thank you so very much, this poem is perfect!

nicole

thanks so much for writing this poem. all though i'm not sure why you wrote it, but to me it helped explain my battle with depression. Thanks agian. And keep up your writing skills.

Kayla

This is a great poem. I have Juvenile Reumatoid Arthritis and Lupus and I know exactly how you feel (except for the asthma). If one little measly flare-up starts everyone is right on top of you "Are you okay?" "What happened?" "How bad does it hurt?" Sometimes I wish I could just fall off the face of the earth so I wouldn't have to hear them or see them staring. It is so annoying. You wrote this poem right to the t (except for the asthma andd breathing) of my life.

rebecca

This was a great poem. i really enjoyed and you sure got those peoples bad

Sophi

I can truly relate to this poem. I, too, have a disability. It is sometimes hard to endure the curious stares and comments as well as those who are only meaning to be helpful. We all must learn to get on with our lives no matter the circumstances. After all, what other choice do we have?

Caitlin

I loved your poem! My best friend suffers from realli bad asthma and she is always saying that she can look after herself but almost every week she's getting rushed off in an ambulance. It's hard for me to stand aside even wen I no that it's wat she wants me to do.

Nuraz

you really kick their butts with this poem! Gd Job!

Tanya

this was one of the best that i have read cause i can relate but no matter whats wrong with you you can do it if you belive i know i did : )

Meghan

Truly amazing poem. Its really easy for me to understand where you're coming from.

Angie

Although I don't have asthma, I have a disease which I have had for over 20 months and the dr's say I will still have until I am old and grey. This poem is really something special and it says exactly what I feel but can't say. Life isn't fair and those who are dealt the bad cards (like you and I) shouldn't have to live with other people's curiousity and judgements as well as the illness and treatment that goes with it. I really love your poem and think you are an angel for writing something so powerful. Thanks!

nora

Wow, your poem really describes how i feel . I know i have diabetes and it's hard when people always ask what you're doing and stare at you.

Will

this is just beutifull

Cyndi

Your poem is really good and i think that you have the right attitude about it. You shouldnt let anyone tell you that you cant do becuz you know weither or not you can or cant. You go out and live like there is no tomarrow

Alisa

Right on! Very good and very true poem.

carolyn

WOW! that poem was awsome. u don't know how much it relates to the feelings i have and have had in the past with the crap that i have been thru. it touched me so much!

Sean

This is really deep, and hits home for me.

Katie

Hey I really like that poem It's Life, I've Dealt, You Should Too. I have asthma and I hate it when people say I should not do this or that because they are afraid of me having an attack. When I do they feel sorry for me.
