Cynthia Jones Poet Rhyme

Why Do You Explain Things To Me

Why do you think you
have to explain things to me?
Stop looking at me as being stupid
I don't need a college degree.

You have told me not too long ago
you want someone, on the same level as you,
stop putting my intelligence down
your insults hurt, you leave me feeling blue.

I didn't quit school
when I was in grade six,
maybe you quit sooner than that
don't know, don't give a sh!t.

I can't stand this anymore
the hate toward me, you unfurl,
try saying words right...dumb ass
it's pronounced WORLD...not WHIRL.

I think you do it on purpose
just to piss me off,
I correct you on it
but all you do is scoff.

Stop putting my intelligence down
you leave me feeling blue,
you have told me you need someone
on the same intellectual level as you.

I don't ever do that to you
why are you doing it to me?
At least I don't say words wrong
and I don't need a college degree.

I hate being called stupid. I also hate being looked at and having this hurled at me, "Do you understand what I'm saying or talking to you about?" DUH!!!
