| Below is a poem that I wrote about the subject | | | | I will overcome this stutter |
| of stuttering when I was aged fourteen. My | | | | Am I unlucky? |
| father presented me with the poem during a | | | | Have I been dealt a poor hand of cards? |
| recent family "get together". He had kept it safe | | | | Have I had a tough life? |
| for fully twenty-one years! Thanks dad. | | | | No, I just have a speech impediment |
| When Will This Stuttering Nightmare End? | | | | I have a plan |
| Today was a struggle | | | | I will not stutter for the rest of my life |
| My speech was poor at best | | | | I am willing to work very hard |
| It was funny for a few | | | | I will achieve fluency |
| I will prey for them | | | | I have had the stutter since the age of four |
| I will not let this stutter get me down | | | | That is ten years of pain |
| I will survive | | | | Speech therapy has not helped |
| There will be many tough days ahead | | | | The stutter has in fact been getting even more |
| Fluency is the goal, it will be attained | | | | severe |
| The mockers can mock | | | | Is there anyone out there who can help me? |
| The fools may laugh | | | | I am willing to travel |
| The doubters can doubt | | | | I am willing to work hard |
| I will prove them all wrong | | | | I just want hope |
| Ignore the negative speech therapists | | | | I am now very pleased to report that I managed |
| Ignore the negative stuttering therapy blogs | | | | to overcome the stutter when I was aged |
| Ignore the negative so called specialists | | | | twenty-two, that was thirteen years ago. |
