Dis-And-Able In One Body

Living within this one body is a person able to speak but also one who is not stammering making one so weak Many a disability is plain to see but this one is not so clear be silent and nobody notices thinking you're able not a tear There within emotions tangled but later an other person's there one looking confident and cool other battling to remain it's not fair People so unfriendly to one of you the other one they think you're top not able to be completely one one's caged within the other not But remember think of others indeed worse off than you unable maybe to walk see or talk at all at least your one half is able to do Stammering is a monster disabling you from within but fighting back you are able as divine strength helps you win AUTHOR NOTES: Having had a stammer all my life of 60 years but in recent years have came to realise there's two persons in this body, one who stammers and the other who speaks normal , at least some of the time so this poem is written from my perspective of being two persons living within the one body, one disabled the other able.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, may I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
