In this picture I saw,                                   pains from my past                                     to present day,                               and then the article I did read,                                     and I wrote this                                     of the emotions                                 that did rush through me.                                       ~~~~~                             An internal rumble heaved                           from somewhere behind my heart,                                deep inside my soul,                               thunderclouds and tears,                                a flood of emotions,                               all at once ravaged me,                            choking on tears inside.....                                A journey so long,                                 a journey so hard,                            a journey so never ending.                              Still my daily battle                           I've learned to fight so well.                                This long hard road,                                the long way around,                                destines path for me.                                  The struggles,                                       the pain,                                  the confusion,                                  the frustration,                                    the why me,                                but they say in a way                                    I have a gift                          they call me a creative thinkers                            they say I have advantages,                                like Thomas Edison,                                 and Albert Einstein,                                just to name a few.                              They say I have only the                          learning differences of dyslexia,                              in many ways I see just                              that of which they speak,                                yet it is so hard,                            and of myself I am so proud,                                  for I know this                                   mountain so high                                 which I am climbing,                              and it is no easy task,                    though I've learned the tricks to fight it,                        and deal with all these differences,                              and beat it in the end,                        and I know they are only half right,                        it's not just learning differences,                    it's the 'dealing with our world' differences                    that effect my life and all things in it I do                                daily, day to day,                              for which my heart weeps.
