It really is annoying when you can't read black on white, <br />You just get lost so easily because you can't tell left from right. <br />When words all look like pictures and letters jump around, <br />And mathematics baffles you because it has no sound. <br /> <br />I'm capable, articulate and speak with true conviction, <br />Yet it's written works and reading words that highlight my affliction. <br />Sometimes I worry silently, the fear just makes me sick, <br />I fear that people judge me because they think I'm ‘thick'. <br /> <br />So I offer up this silent prayer to ease my troubled mind, <br />Let others see me, as I am, intelligent and kind. <br />Please feel the struggle that I face each and every day, <br />Dyslexia is not a myth, its real and here to stay. <br /> <br />Alas, I know that faith alone will not bring understanding, <br />The world is fast, intolerant and always too demanding. <br />I realise no higher being will clear my mind of fog, <br />In which case, I have to ask if there really is a doG.<br /><br />Teedy Dawn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dyslexia-4/
