What's it like?

WHAT’S IT LIKE?
What’s it like to live with learning disabilities?
To know that the basics like Math and Science are your enemies?

What’s it like to go to school…
To know you can’t keep up, making you feel like a fool?

What’s it like to get a job?
To learn the rules and play the game?

But at the end,
You get the blame?

A history of users and fakes….What’s it like to give it your all,
If at the end, all they do is take!

What’s it like to wish away the madness?
To wish you could do more to think differently?

What’s it like when your mentally challenged?
Your memories jacked, and your past memories absent?

What’s it like to do daily tasks?
To try to get an order right, only to remember it wrong?

What’s it like to know you didn’t see it coming when everyone tells you,
But you didn’t get it then?
What’s it like to not understand how to socialize?
And when you’re being laughed at instead?

What’s it like when you can’t tell the difference between a lie and the truth?
When people say one thing, only to make up an excuse.

What’s it like to have half your common sense?
To know some things naturally, while waiting to learn the rest?

What’s it like to have family
Who loves and cares to keep you going and succeed in life?

I know what it’s like,
How it feels to be me….

Thankfully I have a mother who fights,
And she’ll never quit, and she’s my everything!
