I was asked if I take request so I guess I asked for this. When I said I would try the subject I was given was to write something about a guy in a wheelchair in a grocery store
This was about 20 min ago so I know this is rough... I tried Stef....................


i come around the corner
we come face to face
you turn away – everyone does
this chair you see is just a vehicle
it’s not who i am
why won’t you look me in the eye
when you turn away
i still exist
i went so you could be free to be you
i pray you never see
the things i lived
you would have been proud to stand next to me
i fought bravely
and now you can’t look me in the eye?
what are you afraid you’ll see
i may have left parts of myself there
in that desert of blood
but i am whole – inside
no matter how many times you turn away
you will never take that from me
look at me – look me in the eye
don’t hide from your shame
i ask nothing of you
except to be treated as the man i am
so look me in the eye
next time
i am a man
i am your brother
i am your son
i don’t need your pity
or your front row parking

That was really good KC...I agree, don't change a thing. That was forceful as if you were the guy yourself.

Well I pictured as being powerful...I could see Tom Cruise from the movie Born on the Fourth Of July...shaking his fist at people who treat him different.

hmmm, this was 20 minutes huh? Wonder would it get better if you took longer. You hit some really good nerves on this one kc. My advice to the guy would be keep the front row parking, it's one of the rare thank-you's you truly received from this Country.
