PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It was already bad enough,

I though it was gone.

Yet I felt its presence,

something I haven't felt

for a very long time.

It was bad enough the way I talked,

I knew I had it,

I always spoke with a lisp.

A side effect from birth,

and yet I reminded of it still

sometimes.

But that is another matter,

this is something entirely.

A nemesis I haven't had in

quite sometime.

I fear my words are becoming hesistant,

meaning a drop in my self esteem,

unsure about my communication.

Where the conscious

is affected in the manner I talk.

The stumbling of words,

and the greatest fear:

that damn stutter is back.
