The Challenges That Life Bestowed Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

The challenges that life bestowed

Some of us are born with a condition
It has a variety of extraordinary terms
We have many gifts that may be creative
We see and think ahead of the present time
some of us often are politically motivated
It is proven some Great leaders suffer from it
Artist, poets, inventor and well-known president
It's Sometimes called it the genius syndrome
We can appear to others as rather odd
To us, friendships are so hard to have
Our social skills may not be conventional
Our smile may be another individual frown
Isolation can be part of our everyday life
Did Winston Churchill suffer our flight?
Did he feel rejected at school and college?
Could W. B. Yates have been one of us
Do you think Padraig Pearse suffers from Asperger's?
Vincent Van Gogh may have suffered it to
Think could you be one of the chosen few?
