I am tired.

I am tired
Of memorizing trivial things
That seem to be of no relevance whatsoever
To me.

I am tired
Of being reminded that
I am not smart enough
I am not strong enough
I am not skilled enough.

I am tired
Of being challenged:

Who am I to be a poet?
An artist?
A singer?
A student?

Who am I to have the privilege
To keep moving?
