The System


"You're stupid." "You're unworthy." "You're a disappointment." I would hear time and time again. I hear them carousel through my mind. No one ever told me I was stupid or unworthy, But a system convinced me It was the truth. A system that determined my worth Soley on my grade point average. A system that determined my intelligence By the way I bubbled my tests in. A system that was blind to my capabilities. Simply as a human. Not a number. Not a statistic. But as a human.
