I just sit there silence
Its all noise and clutter
Where there are numbers I see white space
When you speak its like your speaking in tongue

Where I used play math like a game
Now turns my brain into mush
I can't turn X into brilliance
Into something that has meaning

I sit and stare at the clock
Hoping and willing the minutes to pass
I watch and listen as everyone else finds answers
Like they are all geniuses and I"m just your average joe

I imagine someone beating the answers out
One, Two, Three The X's won't come loose
Keep pounding till it becomes clear
The path to X isΒ Β there I know it!!

Of course I don't want to be average I want to be something
I want to solve X
Fix X
Define X
Who exactly is X?
Does X have boundaries?
Does it lie on the X and Y plane?
It's just a boring old line.
If I can't find X it will be the death of me
Is it only math?
