Worte sind schon immer um mich herumgewirbelt wie Schneeflocken ein jedes zerbrechlich und einzigartig, ein jedes schmilzt unberuhrt in meinen Handen.Tief in meinem Inneren, haufen sich die Worte in riesigen Verwehungen. Berge von Satzteilen und Satzen und zusammenhangenden Begriffen. Clevere Redewendungen. Witze. Liebeslieder.Aber nur in meinem Kopf.Ich habe nie ein einziges Wort gesprochen. Ich bin fast elf Jahre alt.
