When Will This Stuttering Nightmare End?

Below is a poem that I wrote about the subject of stuttering when I was aged fourteen. My father presented me with the poem during a recent family "get together". He had kept it safe for fully twenty-one years! Thanks dad.

When Will This Stuttering Nightmare End?

Today was a struggle
My speech was poor at best
It was funny for a few
I will prey for them

I will not let this stutter get me down
I will survive
There will be many tough days ahead
Fluency is the goal, it will be attained

The mockers can mock
The fools may laugh
The doubters can doubt
I will prove them all wrong

Ignore the negative speech therapists
Ignore the negative stuttering therapy blogs
Ignore the negative so called specialists
I will overcome this stutter

Am I unlucky?
Have I been dealt a poor hand of cards?
Have I had a tough life?
No, I just have a speech impediment

I have a plan
I will not stutter for the rest of my life
I am willing to work very hard
I will achieve fluency

I have had the stutter since the age of four
That is ten years of pain
Speech therapy has not helped
The stutter has in fact been getting even more severe

Is there anyone out there who can help me?
I am willing to travel
I am willing to work hard
I just want hope

I am now very pleased to report that I managed to overcome the stutter when I was aged twenty-two, that was thirteen years ago.
