So I Stutter Poem by Rouren Torres

So I Stutter



I can think clearly,
But don't do well
When it comes to spelling,
I mean speaking.
So I stutter.

I can understand just fine,
But when I must
Say what's on my mind
My hands, no my tongue...
Actually both are tied.

I might be considered wise
If my lips didn't trip
And stumble all the time.
They betray me at the blink of a hat-
Drop of an eye!

How do I get by?
With very few lines.
To express myself thoroughly
Would end horribly,
And...humidi-a-ten-ly, humiliatingly?

You'd think I'd give up,
But I haven't had enough.
I'm a hazard on legs
So I try again,
And so I stutter.
