My Way

It's about writing and why it is so important to me.

Nobody seems to realize,
why I love to write so much.
It's not because my great-grandfather was an author,
oh no.
My reasons are so simple.

Writing I can take the time I need,
to make each phrase the way I want them to be.
It helps me to find the words I want to say
and I can take all the time I need.
Unlike a conversation.

Because when I talk,
my mind is slow to come up with words
unless it's an important discussion.
There is a hazy fog,
covering my mind
slowing down my thought processes.

I forget simple words
and I am made fun of when I st-st-stutter
because I'm having troubles forming my words
the worst part is,
the ones joking around
 are my loved ones.

I curse this illness for that.
This evil symptom
simply known as fibro-fog.
Makes it so hard to think
and it feels like you've been up all night.
You're mind is so tired
no matter how much sleep you get.
It's the worst.

So writing is my escape
for when the spoken word fails me.
I'll always be able to show
exactly what I need too
through the written word.

I cannot be judged by anyone,
but the reader and what they think
about my aptitude at expressing.
Not about my appearance or
for my A.D.D. like speech,
or having to play charades
because I can't remember what that thing-a-majig is.

Writing is my life,
my soul,
the air I breathe.
It shows what I've been through,
and all that I am.
I'm bearing my soul to my reader
because I can't with speech.

So take me as I am,
I hope some day you'll understand.
Exactly why this is so precious to me,
please ignore my outer shell
and see me for who I am.
