I am challenged.

I look, but can't see.
I smile without happiness.
I cry with no tears.
I wonder, but can't think.
I watch and can't blink.

I am challenged.

I change with no difference
I sense with no feeling.
I handle, but can't deal.
I love, but am numb.
I understand, but am confused.
I talk, but can't speak.
I do, but don't.
I have a life, but can't live it.

I am challenged.

The author's comments:
This is kind of a depressing poem. It's meant for you to interpret though. Tell me what you think.
