"I'm not smart enough"
just another one of the things you said.

and I can't help but think of how wrong you are.

perhaps you might've said "I'm emotionless"
and I could've believed it.

but "I'm not smart enough" , that's just untrue.

"not smart enough"

that's me, I suppose.
because I can't make my paychecks last the week,
or keep up on my homework.

I have only the slightest idea,
of what's going on in politics,
although I would be quite interested to find out.

I don't know how to build a computer, like you do,
I don't know of all the indie bands you listen to.

I've had ideas and dreams just as big as you ever did.
we just never had talked about it,
and if we did, you never took me seriously.

so don't give me that tired line "I'm not smart enough."
it's insulting to me, because I feel like I'm falling behind.
