They say I'm dumb.
They don't know what they're talking about.
I'm Smart

They say I will amount to nothing.
I don't need to.
I'm already something.

They say I am dumber than a sack of potatos.
Those sure are smart potatos!

If all the world were but stones
that would be cast upon me.
If all it were but angry tones
that caused a sadness to be.

I'd simply shrug and walk alone
on this path where I'll be ME!

Nicely done...good to see ya at Passions.
You're right,  this is not true...

No, I'm sure it isn't true, but by putting ourselves in other people's shoes, we learn compassion and understanding. You did this in a simple and straightforward way. Very effective writing!
