Passed For

I'm stupid I would say
and walk away for life
Then stop myself and say
what was I here for life

Then know the way was taught to say 
I know a life is learned
So on again as understand that way
I go that way as earned

To take a lesson in good fact
and say I'm learning more
To make the way more for me now
and hope esteem's passed for

Trevor, your poem is a lyrical journey into self-discovery and growth. Your words beautifully capture the struggle of self-worth and the resilience to embrace learning. The way you articulate the pursuit of understanding oneself and finding value in the journey resonates profoundly. It's a testament to your talent in building introspection into poetry, leaving a lasting impact on those who read it. Brilliantly penned! - Daniel

Thanks Daniel. Too many people ignore their own realization that others are teaching without concern of them having ignorance too. Could your teacher be saying I'm as bad as you and not have the right to say you're stupid for asking more questions themself? YES
