Dyslexia Poem by kate Emma

Your mind doesn’t feel like yours
Theres something foreign in your head
Cant trust a single thought
Or anything that’s said

Unable to understand and comprehend
Whats right in front of you
Trying so many different ways to remember
But nothing ever gets through

Feeling so worthless, so pathetic
Shame, you feel so dumb
Staring and staring waiting for something to click
But it never comes

Why wont my mind take in things
Just like normal people
It feels like my mind and body
Are being so cruel and deceitful

A child again having it explained
In the simplest of ways
But still the word gets stuck somewhere
And cant make sense of what they say

Another language you no you should be
Able to make sense and read
But your mind cant male the link
Of what it is you see

So angry so frustrated so
Humiliated inside
If any one was to find out
Of embarrassment I would die

So worried that I will be found out
Working so hard to cover it up
Not wanting anyone to no or how
It affects me so much

Over compensating and work so hard
So no one has a clue
Going so above and beyond what it
Is I have to do

Dyslexia is something you never wanted
But some how ended up with it
Living life stuck with this thing
Feeling in everyway you just don’t fit
