Hear My Roar Poem by Craig Mize

Hear My Roar

Rating: 5.0


Hello let me introduce myself,
My name is Craig Mize and I stutter.
But my speech does not define
Nor will it ever make me who I am.
I am much more than a speech impediment
My speech, my words, my voice is a gift from God.
With my words I can open doors which was once before closed,
I can tear down walls and barriers that once blocked others,
With my speech, my words, my voice I can even move mountains.
And just in case you were wondering, yes I hear you
I hear all of your jokes and all of your teases.
But your ignorance does not phase me,
It just strive my hunger; it pushes me to be even better.
To prove to you that my speech does not and will not define me
I am much more than just a stutter, much more than just a punch line.
I am a father, a husband, a leader, and a role model.
My voice is louder than the masses, hear my roar.
I will not be defined by my disabilities, but by my abilities;
I refuse to be defined by what I can not do, but by what I can do.
And most importantly by what I will accomplish from here on out.
I am much more than a stutter, much more than a speech impediment.
I am Craig Mize hear my roar!

I will not be defined by my disabilities, but by my abilities; I refuse to be defined by what I can not do, but by what I can do. In a word, BRILLIANT! What a self-affirmation! What a determination! What a roar! It tends to arouse sense of self in many.
