I, Who Stutter
By: Shuri

🪶

Lowering my head, try not to burst

Trying to blend in the wall

Hands on the bottom of my shirt

Awkward and scared of calls

🪶

Then I tried to change

The biggest mistake in history

In front, ready to exchange,

My voice became blurry

🪶

First step isn't my thing, it's others'

But I tried to cross that line

Facing the consequences, I who stutter

Thinking: "others can do it, so I'll be fine"

🪶

Should've stayed quiet and introverted

It's just what my life should be

Alone, lonely, and deserted

Would be the last time I'll do it
