Cursed

Born one summer day,
I was frightfully well,
So cheerfully gay.

My parents they did tell,
They were dearly distraught,
I was not going to be well.

In hospital I fought,
But never getting free,
One day I would be taught.

Epilepsy it got me,
I am hospitalised for ever,
It is something hard to see.

Trying to endeavour,
It was far too late,
My parents were happy never.

Cursed for evermore,
My helplessness is great.

Wow very emotional is that you btw in the pic and is this a poem of you or fictional?

[Imogen.E]

It is fictional. I am very well but I wrote this poem about my friend's brother who is severely autistic, epileptic and has Down's syndrome. I would have put a picture of him in this but I didn't want him exposed on the internet as he's not my brother and I don't have his family's permission. I'm glad you enjoyed this though :)

Oh ok I understand no need to explain I thought you may had been referring to you is why I asked,Your very welcome:)

This poem is sad, but is well written and flows well. Illnesses we have can seem like curses, but God has his reasons for giving them to us, it may make you a stronger person. Sorry, didn't mean to sound churchy.

[Imogen.E]

Thanks and don't worry! I believe God has a reason for making us how we are as well. It's just unfortunate when it's someone your close to. Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you enjoyed :)

I find it hard to understand why things like that have to happen to people and it makes me sad. You don't deserve a curve ball thrown at you from life. Sad poem.

[Imogen.E]

Thanks for reviewing, this was actually written about one of my closest friend's brother. It's so hard for not only him, but the family as well. I'm glad you enjoyed this :)

[Relic]

You're welcome.

your most welcome :)

This is a sad one, but you write with great wisdom for one so young! This is a hard sort of "haiku" kind of structure for each stanza. Well done! I wrote some senryu recently you may want to read. Keep up your excellent writing and I will accept your friend request now. I am quite selective generally in accepting friends. It is an honor to have you amongst them!

[Imogen.E]

Thanks for reviewing, the structure is sort of ABA BCB CDC ect... I'm glad I am honoured and I'm glad you like it :)

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

Have you ever looked up ragtime structure? You should check it out. Scott Joplin was a genius and many of his song structures are so unusual, I think if you wrote a poem to one it would turn out great like this did!

Very nice job. A serious subject indeed.

[Imogen.E]

Thanks for reviewing Maggie, really glad you liked it :)

[❤ Maggie ❤]

No problem! :)

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

It would be hard to see a loved one go through something like this, you did a good job but I think there should be one more line at the very end to help it go smoother. Keep up the practicing.

Good Job
