Intelligentce
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

Being smart isn't everything. You beat them every time you keep trying.
