POETRY
AMANDA
by herself
When I write poetry, it describes me. Each stroke is an outburst and each line, my life. Art and dyslexia go hand in hand, I communicated through it even before words.
Dyslexia has a lot to talk about and art a lot to express. When this is found, the work is ready. Due to dyslexia, I have eyes of poetry.
It is for me as a gift, I see and am seen differently. I don't know where it ends and I begin, we are one.
I'm only me because I'm it. In that node, we have each other. Sometimes, it confuses me, confuses me... I feel bad. But it soon makes me laugh and makes me rhyme.
Flag of peace! I'm not looking for a cure or a fix.
Sick I would be if I wanted to be equal. Broken I would be if I wanted to be normal. The closer I get to my private reality, the more the verses start to come together.
I grew up with this narrative, poetry is my native language.
Let's see how it goes! In the end, this turned out to be.
