"My mouth spit shines syllables 'til they sparkle." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8XOyY54-Ew Found this incredibly powerful poem by Erin Schick who stutters as well. Some of the lines in the poem are so inspiring, so clear to what we should think, and how we should deal with our stutter. Not sure if this was shared before since it's quite old but still worth the revisit if you have already seen it. I want to remember this poem every time before I socialize, every time I have to speak to people I don't know, every time I feel scared of talking.
