POETRY
by
AMANDA
When I write poetry, it describes me. It is read and it is written, in the struggle and in the conquest. Each stroke is a catharsis and each line, my life. Art and dyslexia walk hand in hand; I communicated through it even before words. Dyslexia has much to say and art much to express. When they meet, the work comes ready. Through dyslexia I have eyes of poetry. It is like a gift to me; I see and am seen differently. I don't know where it ends and I begin; we are one. I am only me because I am it. In this knot, we have each other. Sometimes it confuses me, muddles me... I get upset. But soon it makes me laugh and makes me rhyme. A flag of peace! I don't seek a cure, nor a fix. I would be sick if I wanted to be the same. I would be broken if I wanted to be normal. The closer I get to my particular reality, the more the verses begin to assemble. I grew up with this narrative; poetry is my native language. Notice how it happens! In the end, that's what happened.
