The Greats: Poems about Characters in Movies & Other Stories

Chapter 16 - Crazy Cucumbers

Bethany Hamilton

My world has changed ever since that day

I don't know what to do, and I don't know what to say

I'm missing an arm and I feel so lost

I never knew how much this world would cost

Everyone says I'm an inspiration

My miracle has spread to every nation

I know I can do it, i'm not doubting that

After that day I may never look back

I look so strong, yet I feel so weak

Sometimes I think I look like a freak

I'm not that different, I know that is true

I need some time to think things through

Remembering when I had two arms

Doesn't make me want them back

It just reminds me of what I've become

And how I've inspired everyone.
