Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

I am the Boy

I am the boy who has so much to say,
I am the boy who says it my way.
Not always proper, not always right.
With my brain I must put up a fight .
Words don't come easy, they hide away,
When I find them some sounds go astray.
It's not ‘Cos I’m stupid, it’s ‘Cos I am me,
I am the boy with verbal dyspraxia, you see.
I have one desire, I have one wish,
That is that there was more awareness of this
