It's better to be ignored
by being a mute
than to be laughing stock
by being a stammerer !!

-

I'm an unrehearsed poetry
that is being stammered
into the universe,
uncertain of its acceptance.

-

I don't know why, everytime I talk to you, I begin to stammer forgetting what to say...

-

I may have stumbled
and stammered at
your unexpected push,
but the breeze
anchored me
and I learnt the
art of survival

Both had secrets to share - she stammered something in his ears blushingly, he winked at her with awe delightedly showing his hearty consent and it was n't necessary to give his secret a chance as it twinned hers.

You are the reason
That I write,
As I stammer
For those
broken memories
of us,
That Buried in me.

The sentence took three more seconds to complete
But why was that look on your face incomplete?
The frown on your face did say it all
My tongue betrayed me again, once and for all.
I know stuttering for you is a shame
But what to do in my case there is none to blame.
Growing up being a stutterer wasn't easy for a child
You had to face taunts that weren't so mild
From being prevented to attend seminars
to being rejected for the assembly speech
I had seen it all.
From speaking to myself in the mirror
to keeping a candy in my mouth while I speak
I had probably tried it all.
But anyways what could have been done
By no means I could have fixed my tongue.
But it does hurt,
Not when a stranger mocks at you or your benchmate imitates you.
But it hurts when a loved one just asks out of the blue
Do you still stammer? As if they have no clue
But I still reply with a smile as if everything is fine
Because I have learnt to stay strong, move on and fake a smile...

Forgive
the stammer
of my eyes
when you look
deep into them.
They are still learning
to speak to you.

Your ignorance makes them stronger

Your strength makes them stammer

Decide!
