"To Stammering"

When I first read this poem, I clearly did not know what the heck it was about. But when I read it a second time I think I figured out the meaning of this poem. The first line pulls you in by directly addressing the poem’s subject: “Where did you come from, lamentable quality?” (line 1).Clearly, the narrator, is looking back on his speech impairment because “Before” the speaker “had a life” its stammer was “about to ruin” its “life” (line 2).
I think that the narrator is looking back on his speech impairment. I wondered why the narrator used the subjective pronoun "You", throughout his poem, but then I realized that the use of the subjective pronoun was to address his stammering.
The narrator speech impediment was an “experience of enemies from inside” and this inward conflict caused all sorts of outward conflicts because it “ruined a cast party”, showed a lack of “confidence”, and showed a lack of “manliness” (lines 13, 14, 15). The narrator then made a statement that the stammer was more troubling than the “big boys / who cursed [him] and hit [him]” because he was unable to understand the conflict fully without “psychoanalysis” (lines 6-7, 18).
Throughout the poem the narrator projected anger toward his stammer but at the end of his poem their was a sense of understanding. The voice’s “elders said” “Don’t brood about things” and maybe they were right (line 4). Was he trying to imply that maybe the answer is to just get mad and then time for getting even comes later? Maybe. Its clear that he got over his problem though.
I feel that through out the poem the narrator was discovering himself. I also feel that the narrator had you use direct address to tell of his childhood-pass, and could not have done so another way. I feel like the use of this gives him another chance to say thing never said in verse.
After reading the poem I was like, why the use of second person so much, but then I came to realization he was addressing the subjects in his title. I found it to be unusual and a hard mode of expression to pull off be the narrator was able to execute it perfectly. I really found the narrators style of address both beautiful and different.
The narrators style of writing is very impressive. I found this poem to be very different from any other poem I read. I would like to try my hand at this stance some day, brainstorm times and personal traits that have yet to be fully explored and then speak to them directly. My feeling here is that unexpected conclusions would arise naturally and much that lies buried beneath my surface would soon rise to the surface. This poem intrigued me so much and also showed a reflection of my pass, which I will not discuss at the moment.
