I am dumb, stupid, and unintelligent, I an barely write for I am inelliquent. But are those two statements ones I believe? Do I doubt myself with little reprieve? And are those words even the truth? And if they are, where is the proof? Who  says my intelligence is my only value? Or that my skills or talents are very few? I don't have answers for these questions here' But I have been given advice so dear. "You are not stupid, For stupidity is foolishness. You are not dumb, For the dumb cannot speak." I am more than the knowledge I store, I am worth more than anyone could bargin for. My skills don't define me, My IQ isn't my identity. I was given a purpose I will one day see, For thats why I believe God created me. He's given me an imaginative mind. He's blessed me with the desire to be caring and kind. Does this mean I don't doubt anymore? That I don't wonder what my purpose is for? I still doubt, even with proof, But I know I can always turn to the truth. I just remember that simple phrase, This quote that reminds me everyday. "I am not stupid, For stupidity is foolishness. I am not dumb, For the dumb cannot speak." And just because I don't know everything, doesn't mean I'm weak.

Neither Stupid or Dumb
