Math Anxiety

math awards are given out
my anxiety so high
mathematicians give a shout
I give a deeply felt sigh

math awards cause me anxiety
I am not about to lie
If you made me do math again
I would probably die

Ms. Caren, I'm with you on this one. I didn't get the "math gene" at all, and only got thru statistics with a calculator. Do you think it may have anything to do which side of our brains are dominant??

Definitely a poem most people can relate to. I was never good at math as well, Caren:-) Wonderful poem!

It is beyond my grasp - a language I do not speak.
