I can’t raise my hand in class in fear of slipping.
I can’t read aloud with fear of pausing.
I can’t talk to you or anyone else in fear of rejection.
I am not a retard.
I am not a freak.
I try to speak out but my sentences are finished.
I try so hard to finish them my self;
by ticking my tongue against the roof,
by clenching my jaws together and grimacing
by moving my head to the back or the side,
using great amounts of strength to force the words out.
But it is always finished before me.
I can never say what I need to.
I don’t feel human anymore.
I don’t feel like I belong with the other normal speakers,
But you say I do!
So let me speak!
Let me finish my own sentences without you getting in my way!
Don’t tell me to take deep breaths or slow down,
I have tried that before, and it only works a while.
I’ve took all the classes,
I’m better than before.
I can speak.
just be patient,
I will show you that I can speak.
I can’t read aloud with fear of pausing.

I am a stutter. I hate it when I try so hard to say a word, I really try, and then someone just finishes it for me. It is annoying and it hurts. I have had a speech tutor Kinder-garden through sixth grade and I think I have gotten better. But I still stutter. This applies to the other people who have speech impediments, I use have the same tutor as them. We don't appreciate being made fun of. Everybody forgets that we exists.
The reason for this rant is because I searched for a scholarship for stuttering and every answer I saw was, "No, there is no scholarship for one but I have links for a speech tutor to help you!" I do not want that. I, and most of the people like me, have or had a tutor. If we wanted a tutor, we would've asked, "Do you know a speech tutor?" Frankly, it is kind of insulting.
