The underachiever

I was told I was smart, 
overflowing with potential, 
If only I worked hard
On the reading dimension. 

I was told I was slow
wouldn't put in the care
Hence my reading blowed
While I was acing math. 

I was told my brain melt
The words into blobs
My memory then tangled
concepts into forms. 

I was told that explained
Why it was so frustrating 
The simplest task, to read
To copy or recite a poem. 

I was told I could head as far
for my awesome little mind 
Working in this tortuous way
Was just as full of shine.

I was told I was too lazy, 
That I let my mind wonder
chosing and focusing never
I wouldn't amount to greatness. 

I was told I'd been banking
All my path on these skills
Soon they wouldn't sufise
To carry me up the hills.

So I have been blamed 
For the continuous waist 
My enhanced head has been 
on my slipery hands. 

Now I find there is a cure
For these flighting thoughts
That it is chemical and dured
All through my stary strolls. 

I am told I'm too insecured,
That I clearly have what it takes, 
If only I'd put in the time
And keep my hand on my breaks. 

Well fuck you all very much, 
Your mountains I breezed by
But you can't see me hike mine
So you all told quite enough!
