Dyspraxia

This is a poem based on my learning disability as they call it! And how it has got to me!

Despraxia it's called it haunts me today.

It pulls me back from every which way.

Trying to place things in my head.

It's not too bad they told me they said

But  trying to dance is the hardest of all

I get dragged back slowly i fall

Trying to remember my lines is an awful big pest

But i learn them i'm no thicker than all the rest.

But when people ask me will you do this?

When i explain they seem to just take the piss!

"It's the worst excuse i've ever heard"

But they understand word for word.

My short term memory is worst of the all.

I'm so stupid i can't catch a ball.

I've only know a couple of weeks.

But over the years it's pulled from me streak and streaks.

I flunked in maths, got bad grades.

All because my memory fades.

I can't remember sequences or two things at once.

But they call my dyslexic and give me different fonts?

I know what i am and i'll never change for them.

If no one can except me then that's up to them!

But i'm staying as me thats all i am.

If they are botherd i don't give a damn!

I'm dyslexic also and it sucks but you get around it somehow. The colors that you used also showed power in your words. .
I really liked how you put your words.

You seem strong by the way you've written this.

Very well written!

I really like this. It shows a lot of true emotions within it.

You got game - girl! Great poem! I too like the colors on the black backround, well thought out and written.

[Kayleigh]

Brilliant write, with the mix of colors moving the words with different emotions! You're a strong fighter, and it comes out so well with your amazing writing (and filmaking one day, huh)!!! Excellent...

I understand your frustration of your disability as my son goes through it everyday. He finds trouble finding jobs because they want to but in on a register and he has trouble with math and counting back change.,
ect...but don't let it get to you. You are unique and special in your own way. Just be you , and if no one likes who you are, than it shouldn't be someone you wouldn't want to know anyways. Good luck to you...your poem said it all!
