Look at that girl:
The stutterer girl
The stupid speech
The certain joke.
Look at the stutterer:
The bully's target
The clunky kid
The shut up mouth.
Look at the child:
Waiting for the growth
Dreaming in French
Getting up in silence.
Look at that girl:
Meeting another stutterer
Collecting judgements
Growing through this life.
Look at this girl:
Telling stories slowly
Sharing her dread
Challenging her ghosts.
Now look at this singer:
Strong on the main stage
Powerful on the piano
Tricking her brain.
Sing your song, girl:
Give us your speech
Make all of us stutter...
Make all of us shut up!
