Left Hand
Stop that! That's a very dirty thing to do!
Oh my left hand, the whole world sees you as a curse
But I see you as a gift
The world sees us lefties as just being aberrant
But I see you as a blessing
Oh Miss Alice
You made my life a living hell in primary school
You made me almost hate my left hand
You stopped me from writing with my left, but you didn't stop me from eating with it
I remember crying, crying so hard at night
I couldn't concentrate on what I was writing
Instead, I was worried about how I was writing
I remember relapsing in my exam grades
It was torture
But I thank you Miss Alice
Now I can boast of being ambidextrous
I switch whenever I want to.
I don't know why you people hate the left hand
but mine is mine not yours and don't tell me when and how to use it
Oh my left hand, the whole world sees you as a curse
But I see you as a gift
The world sees us lefties as just being aberrant
But I see you as a blessing
Oh Miss Alice
You made my life a living hell in primary school
You made me almost hate my left hand
You stopped me from writing with my left, but you didn't stop me from eating with it
I remember crying, crying so hard at night
I couldn't concentrate on what I was writing
Instead, I was worried about how I was writing
I remember relapsing in my exam grades
It was torture
But I thank you Miss Alice
Now I can boast of being ambidextrous
I switch whenever I want to.
I don't know why you people hate the left hand
but mine is mine not yours and don't tell me when and how to use it

It is interesting to read your poem. I'm a lefty, too, and was forced to write with the "right" hand. It was torture and my brain was twisted. Over time I also became ambidextrous and I see it as a big advantage now. Nice to meet you :-)! Welcome to DU!
