Boom. I blew your mind.

Bet you didn’t know that!

What did you learn today?

That I am not

"Smart"

What is it, to be intelijent?

Intelecshual?

Or something

Like that

You know it started with an i, and

Ended with a t, and

Meant someone like me, and

You hate them.

I want to be them...

Born gifted, lucky,

Always knowing what,

Why,

How.

Telling you

What to do

Why it matters

How they know

And you just…

Don’t

The teacher always asked you

Why aren’t you more like...him

Her

Them

It doesn’t matter

The pain, the anger

Always trying so hard

Then never trying again

I’m sorry

“This was never even a fight

You lost when you were born

You aren’t really good at

Anything”

Knowing the answer

Doesn’t really matter

They said you wouldn’t be left

Behind

Weeding you out,

Cutting you down,

Making it hurt to be

“Stupid”

“Natural selection”

“Survival of the fittest”

You might have been fit

But it never hit you

That you were just…

“Dumb”

Life isn’t fair,

But now you’ve learned

What I have not

That you have to work

For everything.

Just

Keep

Trying
