Mercy Me Mercy You Poem by Mrs. Cynosure

never mercy me in the moon light
thou I shall mercy you
day or night
you shall be the weaker
one of the two
therefor I am stronger

at my weakest point
I am stronger than you
at your strongest

I have no muscles
therefore I cant
walk
talk
feed myself
control my arms or legs
or my body waste for that matter
I may not have them
in the physical world but
I more than make up for them
in the mental world
“ you dont”
there is where I’m stronger
than you or anyone
“normal ”
there I will dominate
the world
for there is where I am
“better” then you

don’t call me names
therefore I will turn my head
I’ve heard them all
you don’t need to remind me
of what I am
of what I was born with
of what I live with
day to day

don’t stare at me
it’s not nice
I know I look
“different”
then you
than anyone else
why are you so quick to judge
you don’t know me
I’m not different than you
or
anyone else

call me retarded
call me disabled
call me a freak
call me non human
but I’m just a girl
a girl with
Cerebral Palsy
