I am a fighter


I am a fighter

I have faught for my grades

my freedome

my right to express myself

and a way to fit in

I have kept a secret

a secret that I am different

Every day I fight that secret

So people don't look at me differenty

I am incapable of reading like everyone elce

I have dyslexia

I study more than anyone in my school

I work twice as hard for my grades

I am a fighter
