Algebra makes me feel stupid.
Equations and inequalities,
algebra makes me feel stupid.
I could have an A in the grade book, but that doesn't prove that I understand.
lost in class, barely turned that in before it was late
Algebra makes me feel stupid.
So I drift into my own world.
But at least in my world, I'm not alone.
Algebra makes me feel stupid,
it's not my teacher's fault, but my own.
The issue is, I run on academic validation, my need for it replaces food or water,
so I sink.
pretend- and persuade them to believe
make them think I know what I am doing,
but there is a thin line between sinking and sailing, and I tend to use it as a jump rope
the brink of failure.
Algebra makes me feel stupid.
once gifted, now barely scraping by.
once impressive
what makes me impressive?
certainly not my ability to solve complex algebraic expressions.
is it my ability to fake it?
to only raise my hand when I know the answer?
Is it too late?
is it too late to know the answers?
too late to say I don't understand and ask questions?
Algebra makes me feel stupid.
once excelling in school, now regular.
once gifted kid burnt out and realizing they can't skate by in school anymore
