"Why are you so stupid?"
I'm sorry
I really tried to understand it

"Even pre-schoolers know how to do this!"
I'm sorry
I don't know what it is
To me
It's just a blurry image  

"It's like I'm talking to a wall!"
I'm sorry
I'm trying to understand it all
But it's just mush
In my mind

"You don't know how to do this? I've already taught you this! How could you forget?"
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
Please teach it again
It just won't stick in my head!

"You don't know something as simple as this? Come on!"
I'm sorry
My mind must be gone
I'll try to remember this time
I swear

"They're so stupid."
(I'm sorry)
(I'm really trying...)
(I'm really trying to understand)

"I don't know why they can't just understand. It's so simple!"
I'm sorry
It's not a simple matter for me
It's a jumble of words
That make no sense to me

I wish I could be smart
But all I'll ever be
Is an idiot
I get it
Now I see
Leave this fool
I'll never get it anyway
Actual things my teacher told me. I wish I could have understood.
