Halved In Two
Here I am split in two
one half fluent, other not
the other that's non fluent
it's one that puts me on the spot
On the spot I frequently am
when the tongue hits a block
no amount of clean air helps
it just seems to be full lock
This effects confidence and hope
one thinks what can I do?
I've been treated over the years
no therapy seems to fit my shoe
But you learn how to cope
keeping quiet is great aid
except inside you deteriate
self esteem tends to fade
Thankfully the other half of me
lifts me up for my rescue
transferred I am for a while
not to last so nothing new
This is my life's lot
battle on to end whatever my half
as poetry writing helps me relax
maybe I'll become a giraffe!
AUTHOR NOTES: 'split personality', just my thoughts on being two persons in one body, one being fluent and the other non fluent.
