Niap Niap



Niap niap, sometimes things are hard, even when written in plain sight.

Some people read backwards just for fun; for some, it’s all from sight, even when it’s not your eyes.

Sometimes it’s just the brain. Being called dumb doesn’t create any fame.

You and me — we are just not the same.



Niap niap, finding it hard

Premium MemberThe Fallout from Dyslexia and Nuclear War

for my entire life
I've always been on the brink
of annihilation

under a wooden desk
covering porcelain neck
the unforgiving sirens

a nuclear child
petrified of being exposed
to the fallout

seven years of age
stressed out by the alphabet
thoroughly dyslexic

Why
would
people
criticise
a child’s best efforts
because he does not measure up
to their own abilities and twisted reasoning?
Learning disorders are not to be looked down on; instead, motivation is the key.

Dyslexia Tested

Maybe just maybe I am and always
have been an

Undiagnosed

Apoplectically archetypal orthodox

Dislexic

Who unfortunately tried to spell 
it out to anyone willing to listen 

But obviously my words came out
all mixed up and wrong

So I never made any sense whether
that was or be

Whether scribbled down profusely and
indiscriminately on paper

Or spoken word of mouth thinking
other's could follow my

I sold my soul to Santa,
but it's much too soon to tell.
If an everlasting Christmas
is preferable to hell.

Dyslexia 
David J Walker

I recall
	The wall 
Of words 

In jet black 
waves 
of ink

Invade 
the innocence of
paper white
  not quite 
a page

Fear 
	Panic
terror   
Rage

Other words 
smother 
like a thick 
denim quilt 
 

I hide within myself 
	lost
without a guide

a dance
	into a trance
of knowing only
nothingness

Faith and Hope Overcome Dyslexia

Can't tie shoes. Can't read aloud. Can't memorize Latin.
IQ test, panic, shyness. Confidence goes missing.

A corner turned. Ask, and you will receive.
College, city planner, romance, graduation.

Paradise lost. War drums. "You are hereby ordered to report."
Fear and dread. Grab your guns. Invasion.
Many rockets fired, crashing all around.
Deliverance! Cheers on homeward flight abound.
"Baby killer! How justify?" Keep

A terrible war left behind.

Premium MemberMy Dyslexia

Dyslexia affects me very severely,
but only when I sleep, when I dream only.
While in a dream state if I'm presented something to read,
like a newspaper, book or magazine,
none of the printed words make total sense to me,
they are all mixed up, out of order and confusing as can be.
but then when I awake and I'm

Premium MemberPoem Within a Poem

Words in the belfry, words in the hall, words in my sandwiches, words for us all.
What if you know no written words? What if you cannot read? What is my world?
Words in my head, swirling around, making me laugh. Idiocy, munchkin and calf.
How would you play video games if you could not read how to

Dyslexia

My eyes does not itch,
But my brain does itch.
Eagle's eyes,curious teeth but timid brain,
Intuity did a lot of spelling rain. -

But i can't understand.
Comprehension had had me strand.
Willing eyes,indifferent cerebral,
Hopeful skull but brain's sick crawl.

Persaude my brain to agree with my eyes,
Wants to be free from this hell; Dyslexia.
