I am dumb.


I believed everyone hated me.

Not because the snarled, barked, or growled

Because they were smart.

 

Smart people don’t like dumb,

They like being smart.

This was all a facade.

 

These people were just like me.

It only took me 7 years to figure it out.

We are all dumb.

 

We all struggle to do something.

The smartest person doesn’t understand everything.

We all struggling.

 

We are all dumb.
