Before I was stupid I was creative. The world doesn’t want creative. The world wants inventive. The world wants practicality. The world wants physical perfection. Before I was stupid I thought I had talent. I thought I could share this talent with the world. But that was before I was stupid. Time came for me to go to school. I met other children. I met other adults. Then I learnt that I was not creative. I learnt that I was stupid. My parents understood that The world did not want creative. The world wanted practicality. I failed at every hurdle. I did not have physical perfection And I did not have practicality. It is said that stupid people do not know That they are stupid. But I do. I know.

Before I Was Stupid
Before I was stupid I was creative. The world doesn’t want creative. The world wants inventive. The world wants practicality. The world wants physical perfection. Before I was stupid I thought I had talent. I thought I could share this talent with the world. But that was before I was stupid. Time came for me to go to school. I met other children. I met other adults. Then I learnt that I was not creative. I learnt that I was stupid. My parents understood that The world did not want creative. The world wanted practicality. I failed at every hurdle. I did not have physical perfection And I did not have practicality. It is said that stupid people do not know That they are stupid. But I do. I know.
