I’M NOT THAT SMART

I was never a prodigy.

I was never called a whiz kid.

I was always getting in trouble,

For the stupid things I did.

A little slow at times,

I’ll never be a brain.

When I start to think too hard,

The strain causes pain.

I understand my situation.

I know it my heart.

I’m just smart enough to know,

That I’m not that smart.

But I can say, that’s okay.

I can live with that.

I’ll march to the beat of a different drummer,

And wear my own kind of hat.
