I Am Strange (a Poem For Victims Of Sickle Cell) by jerrywill(m): 2:58pm On Aug 18, 2018
My hemoglobin is wrongly shaped
So you think my life should go the same
Please stop treating me this way
Just because I am strange

.

The first on the list of sickness' aim
'too weak for that' so you claim
Little illness, you give me blame
Just because I am strange

.

Every little pinch gives me pain
And like my red blood cells, I should fail
You stigmatize me in every way
Just because I am strange

.

I am a product of my parent's mistake
Or say of their stubborn faith
So you see me a mistake or shame
Because I am strange

.

But I will prove you wrong over and again
I'll fly to the highest plain
Over your thoughts and words I'll reign
Yes, 'cause I am strange
