I wrote this under my old username: the_loner_23 for a challenge on here a few years ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was always considered slow
I have a learning disability
So what, I deal with what comes

There are so many like me out there
We get along in the real world
Even though we run in to those who don't like us

Not only learning disabilities make people slow
Sometimes it is caused by sickness
Even some elderly ones aren't fast

So this whole world can be considered a slow man's land
Whether people like it or not
Not just people with learning disabilities like me are slow as can be
In this slow man's land

There's a definite connection between slow and brilliance.
You have to ride with what you've got and make the best of it just like this poem says so well.
Don't ever be too hard on yourself because this is wonderful honesty and heart warming feelings.

Besides, you ain't slow in this slow man's land!!

Thank you for your kind comment! Sometimes I feel slow but I am getting faster with time. LOL
