Dyslexia



d*mn my clustered brain my clouded thoughts
I've been cut short
Let's start from nought

Much information I cannot obtain
Hard to manage this frustration and strain
In one ear then out to the drain
All I feel is anger and pain

The words on this page I won't remember
Have to look back October November December

Maths and English weren't my sort
So a calculator I went and bought

Better now I am older
A natural fighting soldier
The words are so much bolder

Cards on a table I can count
52 easy without a doubt
Don't tell the casino might get a clout

Smart I am in different ways
You learn so much when you stop and gaze
Don't get me wrong I need no praise
Start a good job in seven days

Please feel free to leave feedback
Thanks,

 Yeah I had to google how to spell Dyslexia
