As someone who embraces, resents, overcomes, battles and argues with my dyslexia every other minute life forces it to the forefront of my social interactions, this poem touches me so deeply that I can't begin to describe accurately in prose. Thank you for giving voice to learning differences so eloquently. You're one of my favorite poets; I hope to someday be able to touch such a broad audience in a meaningful way.

This is beautiful.
