I stutter.

Posted by boomsnake on 6/16/2008 1:59:00 AM
I pretend I am forgetful, wrong, sick, speechless, tired.
I pretend my phone is not working correctly.
I pretend I have to text message you because I can't hear anything you're saying.

I envy every person who can express themselves through words so freely.

My worst fear is that I won't be able to get the job I know I deserve because is of it.

I constantly get hung up on the phone because I cannot say "Hello!"

Sometimes I try so hard my throat burns.

I wish people knew how hard this was.
I wish they knew how lucky they really are.

I have great ideas I want you to hear.
I am creative.
I have opinions.
I am intelligent,
and actually quite funny.

I want to tell you everything...

I stutter.

PLEASE be patient,

listen.

Some of the most intelligent people in the world stutter. My best friend who is the smartest person I know (perfect SAT score, genius, etc) as well as one of the most kind and social people, stutters. Your true friends will love you in spite of it. First, you have to stop being ashamed of it though.
