             A lonely disappointment

  Some people are talented artists. Others could be record breaking athletes.
I am not capable of such things.

Everyday my father comes home and looks at the walking breathing life he took part in making.

And then he turns away.

Sometimes, I catch my mom staring at me and I wonder why she does that.

If I carried life in my stomach for 9 months, then why is the life that came out of me, seem so lifeless?

I wish I could run up to my parents to the bleachers and hug them; knowing that I made the big shot and making my team win.

I wish I could have my father show me off to his coworkers and tell them that I achieved many things in my life that make me such an extraordinary person.

I wish, I wish and I wish.
And yet my wishes never come true.
