If I lost an eye

If I lost an eye

And cried with only my right side

Would it hurt you?

If I lost my hearing

And talked funny

Would you not get annoyed

At shouting and having to do hand gestures?

If I lost one tooth

Or two from the front

Would you not find it funny how I say my s’s?

If I lost my arm or leg

And couldn’t walk or had one loose hanging sleeve

Would you still find me attractive?

If I had asked you to stop

If I had cried louder

If I ran faster to get some help

Would you expect me to come back?

Would you want me to still see the good in you?

Would you say you were sorry?

      I love writing. The more I write, I learn. Self expression is something that pushes me to write.
