They All Said
Stupid stupid, they all said
as I read, as I speak
as I try, as I cry
as I see, they can all do it but me.
They're your age, they all said
as I sigh, as I try
as I look, at that book
as I see, they're all normal,
unlike me.
You can’t do it, they all said
as I saw, they're all lies
as I learned, I'm not alone
as I learned, how to read.
She’ll never finish, they all said
as I read, all the books
as I don, the silly hat
as I take, my diploma
I’m dyslexic, I told them
As I became, an English major.

Mary's Little Girl
I'm the Dyslexic English major. Right now I attend Franciscan University in Ohio. Which brings me to the biggest part of my life, my Catholic Faith. I stand in line with my Church on ALL of Her teachings. I love my Church and NOTHING will ever make me remove myself from Her.
