Bear with me as I fumble for words,
it takes time, which may seem absurd
Bear with me as I doodle and draw,
I have the feeling I just can’t write anymore
Bear with me as I go for a walk to clear my head,
to try and lift this feeling of dread
Bear with as I get myself back on track,
to meet this deadline which I know I can crack
Bear with me as I doodle and draw, my head is full,
I can’t think straight anymore
Bear with me as I take my time,
find a pace that suits me fine
Bear with me as I pick up the pace,
I feel I can win this deadline race
Bear with me as the words transpire
Woohooo look at me I am on fire
Bear with me as my fingers tap away,
I am nearly done it’s the end of the day,
For this little rhyme,
it took a huge amount of time,
Bear with me as bring this to a close,
Scraping through by the skin of my nose,
As I sigh with relief,
I will keep this brief
Bear with me is my mantra in life,
its kept me out of certain strife,
Knowing I need that extra time
letting people know I am Dyslexic is fine
Dyslexia is part of me
so please bear with me and let me be me
