Aphasia is a communication disorder that results from a stroke or brain injury. It may affect the ability to speak, understand, read or write. However, intelligence is not affected.

LYRICS

I am smart
I have feelings
I am smart
Give me time to express myself
I am here
Don't you see me?

Facing the road ahead
Better and better each day
It's just another bump in the road
and I know I'll be okay

I am smart
I have feelings
I am smart
Give me time to express myself
I am here
Don't you see me?

Aphasia is apart of me but I am not aphasia
You say you know how I feel
But I'm the one who's living it

I feel connected now
My family is proud of me
We can get through it with friends and family

I am smart
I have feelings
I am smart
Give me time to express myself
I am here, I am here ,I am here
Don't you see me?
