Speech Impediment


A cacophony of voices Shouting, begging to be heard A girl adds hers to the jumble But her voice is broken, weak, scarred Damaged. Heedlessly, she speaks louder, faster But her speech makes no sense People give her weird looks Treat her as if she's stupid She cries. One day she picks up a pen The words flow out perfectly She can express herself clearly And no one looks at her weirdly anymore So she writes.
