[hometext] => using a broken computer as a metaphor for a person with mild mental disabilities. may turn into a childrens book someday
[bodytext] => I'm sitting here upon a hill All alone and sad They walk past me but no one stops I'm not all that grand All they see is a broken computer But I still run just fine My keys are a little sticky And my processor's wired just a little wrong But I still work just not as fast Twice as hard, though Lonely am I, the broken machine No one wants me I'm not like the others I don't run fast or hold much information My screen flickers just a tad Sometimes I wonder why I was built wrong If my maker knew my wiring was bad And if so, why should I have to suffer? I know how I'm supposed to work And I try so very hard But there's always something that goes wrong And so here I am I look like a normal computer And if you run me very slow I could pass For one that works But put too many requests into me And I'll shut down I hate that I'm not like the others I know I'm not right All I want is to find my place And make someone happy But how do you make someone happy When you can't do what they want you to All I do is disappoint them They expect me to work like everyone else To be able to do what they can do And when they learn I'm broken they are sad And shut me out of their world Then I end up here again Sitting on this landfill hill Damaged and lonely and sad Looking for my place in this world [comments] => 2 [counter] => 271 [topic] => 68 [informant] => desolantdreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fictional )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
