Dyslexia MAG
She is perched there for hours
At her homework stricken desk
Stacks have become towers
Overwhelming and a mess
A simple assignment
Demands answers impossible to devise
For her mind is in a state of torment
Constantly unsure
Her eyes reread a line
Over and over again
A sign all is never fine
The words' meaning are getting lost
In a maze from her eye to her brain
The wires are somehow crossed
Her pen can't write what she sees
So the simple act of copying
Turns into World War III
When the letters on a page start flying
As and Os blur and switch
Bate will transform into date
And her page looks nothing like the other
Leaving her feeling second rate
Her mind is getting lost
In some bizarre charade
She thinks this happens
Because of a mistake she's made
Or a god she's displeased
When really it is not her fault
Her brain gets confused
And all it does is somersault
Never knowing right from wrong
Her eyes glaze with tears
As her tower of work
Turns into a tower of fears
