Speak Your Words


 Oh man I’m so stupid

What was I even thinking?

Was I cooler?

Was I smarter?

What was I?

I was dumb, that’s what I was

Speaking l o n g e r

Searching synonyms

Trying to feel clever

Make it difficult to understand

That will make me smarter than I am?

Right?

That will make up for me?

Right?

 

dumb to have thought

that words meant intelligence

Or

dumber to have thought

I had to make up for it
