A World We Couldn't Know

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Everyday I hope to get
A little more
Of his humility
Injected into me...

I lucked out
I imagine 
Most of us did

At seven years of age
I was never raised
By a schizophrenic mother
Tieing me to
a kitchen table
Scraping out
my feminine insides
with a cold steal hook
But it happened 
To a girl named Sybil...

Austistic
Down Syndrome
Sever mental retardation
Angelman syndrome
Prader-Willi
Fetal alcohol syndrome

they had no say
In the way
They came
Genetics
Parents
The world around them
Forced them

And it's a miracle
The passion
They still hold.

Reason for writing:

    It's unimaginable what some people are capable of.  Sybil developed multiple personality disorder as a result of her mothers uncomprehendable mental and physical abuse...beyond anything we could probably imagine.
