Im A Down Syndrome Child Poem by Nasra Al Adawi
Im A Down Syndrome Child
No one else but me
Had been stared at
Like a starnger on earth
They look at me worried and afraid
I smile and they hold back
Are they frighten of me?
Or is it who I am?
A downsydrome child
I reach for their love
I find none
I wonder if Im real or deviant on earth
In their polite silence, Im rejected
So I am a down syndrome but still need your affection

Beautifully put down. And we - we are not proud of our reaction... but when we sing with you, it's different...!
