Why Should I Be In This?

Why should I be in this? Why should I be here?
I'm only a miss, just running around with tears.
I can't even speak, suffocating in depression,
Can't be sleek, not part of the exception.
Dyslexia is a gift, or so they do say,
But this nuisance of a gift is in my permanent hate.
I'm crying out for patience, I'm crying out for time.
I need your understanding so I know I can be fine.
So, what are you doing 'world', setting this impossible pace?
Dyslexia is something that CANNOT BE ERASED!
