Fifty-Sixth Poem: I'm Not Stupid

(For all the people who thinks it is okay to treat me like I'm stupid, I'm not.)

I'm on my own again

Like I have always been

Take me for granted

I won't stay long

Make fun of me

When I am serious

I get so angry

So frustrated

I want to cry

I need someone to talk to

But no one is there

I wish

That this

That I could have someone

That wouldn't make me

Feel stupid like I always have

I'm tired of people

Staring at me

Like they think Im dumb

Like everyone has

I'm tired of it all

Thinking back now

I have always had

That look thrown at me

People take me for granted

Because they think they can

I am not as stupid as I seem

Take me for granted

Everyone has

They think I'm dumb

They think I will never learn

But I can stand tall

If I want to

If I need to

My anger gets the best of me

I cry and I cry

And I scream

I wish I could scream now

I want to leave

I need to leave

Maybe I will leave

Just for tomorrow

Just for the next week

I am tired of everyone thinking

They can walk all over me

Cause I am on my own

Lost in my own thoughts

Lost in my own sorrow

I'm just an overweight girl

Tryin to take on the world

Tryin to stop from turning

Gettin dizzy

People think

They can ruin me

But what they don't know

Is that they already have
