Hello dear stutter
I hope you’re keeping well
It was a wonderful day today,
Thanks to you falling sick, oh so sad.
Without your presence, my shoulders felt light
Right from dusk until the dim night.
I felt confident today
Thanks to you my demon, you stayed away
I didn’t have to wear my mask,
Nor cover my face while talking.
Why do you ask?
Because otherwise it looks like I bark!
I hate it when people interrupt my conversations,
Or complete my sentence without hesitation .
I know that they’re trying to be polite,
But in reality I get annoyed ,thats right !
I hate calling humans and making phone calls,
Coz I feel like a toddler learning to
speak, oh so small.
I go speechless most of the time,
When someone jumps in front of my face, just to say hi!
It’s not like I’m the master of my words
It’s my brain,
So dear stutter
Why do you always interfere and put me to shame..
Having you in my life has turned me into an ugly mess,
Do u know how much I love to participate in solo talks and debates?
But with you , I sound like a dying poor cow suffering in pain.
Do you know that I like to socialise and make many friends?
But the moment I initiate a conversation, you butt in and it all goes down the drain.
Do you know Mr stutter monster ,
How difficult it is to recite a tongue twister!
Do you know how much I like to answer in class?
I always say it in mind, before I answer .
I feel anxious
I feel conscious
When you surrounded me with blankness
You’d actually be nice and kind,
If you allowed me to say what’s on my mind.
Having you in my life has make me an introvert
When I really am an ambivert!
But when I’m with myself,
And that’s the only time,
You seem to be far far away..
Without stuttering , I convey what I wish to say.
Do you know?
I can sing without stammering,
Isn’t that mind boggling!
Then why must you interrupt when I’m with other people?
Is it because you’re jealous ?
Or is it because you can’t leave me alone, do you think I’m that precious ?
Honestly sometimes I don’t even care,
If you’re absent or even there.
I’ve got lots of stuff to do
So why bother if I have you?
We can’t be perfect ..
We’re just perfectly imperfect !
So even if ..
You’re my biggest insecurity
I will lock you up and set my tongue free.
So start fresh, go get a makeover
You need to turnover .
It makes me feel better,
when we’re not together .
Disappear among the clouds!
And I will scream out loud,
Krissy you’re finally free,
Out of Mr stutter’s captivity !
