Why, you ask ?
Vitilogo is what it is called , but actually it should be called vitili-stay,
cause there is no cause nor cure and it rarely goes away
Why you Ask?
Why me and not her?
Why us and not them? who knows
We persist to live our lives; some cover it up with makeup and some hide it beneath their clothes
Living in your silent prison, although it feels safe, is never going to help
Be free, liberate yourself, You are a strong amazing beautiful person
and don’t you believe anything else.
We all are living in this world recognized by most as someone who doesn’t fit in
This is the craziest thing and awkward situation that one can ever be in
Why is this peculiar thing happening to my skin?
Did I do something wrong
Say a mean thing to a neighbor or a friend?
Why do people stop and stare and never let me come in
To enter a room and not have them look at me as though I’ve committed a major sin
Why you Ask?
There are no answers to help me to resolve
those feelings and the questions about vitligo and all that it involves
All I know is that this is me and my life I will happily live
And enjoy my family, friends and all the great things that life has to give.
God Bless!

Alison that poem was nice they should have a poetry contest on this webpage because I'm almost certain you would win
"Vitili-go is what it is called - Vitili-stay is what it should be called" !!!!!!! How right you are. Don't know how you came up with that phrase !!!!
Hope to see more of your poems in the future. All the best.
Thanks
