No Simple Life

Life is simple but not for me
It's just not easy doing ABC
People think that I'm lazy
I just thought I was going crazy
It's hard to do my work I find
Because It's always on my mind
Reading, writing and arithmetic
Do I reeally have to do it?
Not being able to read write or spell
Living in this bubble of hell
I try to escape from thoughts and strife
No one knows my secret life
Or the struggle that I face each day
Dyslexia is real and it won't go away..

Hazel, a very late congrats on your win in my contest. This poem really touched me. My husband has dyslexia, and I know how much has effected him. I love the notes and letters he has sent me, for over 23 years now. I treasure each one. The heart recognizes each word. Wisdom speaks a universal language. Cheers. Cyndi
