A person named Jeannie she is angry at the world. All her life each day, all she done was quarreled. Another one I met, all she does is sit and bets. Spending all her time and money, which she gets, I watch all human movements, varied are they? Some twirl their hands, some shake leg in dismay. I know a man so afraid, that he tells the same stories. Thinking he won’t be liked, without daily allegories. Another man speaks of conquests of women of life. However, he never talks about ever having any wife. Then there is this scared woman, who I know is abused. Hiding her fear, furtive bruises seen, she keeps all amused. I see daughters picking boyfriends, same as abusive dad. Just to look normal, they allow them in, to share a pad. Then, assertive ones who think they can destroy any mobs. But in reality, they are disorderly; homes are kept like slobs. I have also noticed if a mom is disorderly, mildly unclean. Their daughters are immaculate, there’s no dirt to be seen. There may be some who have dyslexia, though not so un-smart. Can learn much greatness with patience, never challenging start, Prissy women who look to be wealthy and have a great style, This is usually only a show; they drink much, secretly for a while. Macho men, parading about as if they have it made and have it all, Are only masquerading for themselves, others know what is saw. A man or woman who is confident in who they are, what to show. Stands back and watches, earns name quiet, shy, but they really know. Do they really know or have they been put down, stomped on, so bad. Throughout life, accepting all changes, playing only game they’ve had. Written for Sponsor Paula Swanson Contest Name Not As it Seems

look up the Scottish Rite organization to see if they are in your city or town. They offer FREE phenomenal weekly tutoring using the gold standard method of teaching and aiding dyslexic readers (Orton Gillingham method). I have a dyslexic son and I also used to tutor with them. Free if you have a formal diagnoses of dyslexia. (register with your school to get that testing done) You may have to get on their waiting list but is well worth it. Will give you great skills and self confidence galore!
