Poem:

AM I A FAILURE? [A PONDER]

Gift was born a gift to his parents,
At their very old age.
He struggled to make his first speech,
Fought to take his first step,
Mocked when he couldn't say his ABC correctly,
Ridiculed when he didn't understand 123,
Intimidated when he attempted to mingle,
Taunted as 'Mama's Boy' when he behaved like a premature,
Graduated a mediocre from elementary school,
Became academically sick at the college,

Often when she's caught, trapped outside her comfort zone,...
