I'll never forget the day

I got taken out of my 4th grade math class to take a test

A special test

There were a few other kids there as well

Waiting to take the test

A special test

For special people

I flew through the test with ease

I guess that makes me special

A couple days later I get to take another test. A math test! I love math

It's a special math test

For special people

Very few kids were there with me

I tested for what felt like hours

Then the testing was over

I was told a couple weeks later that I am "gifted and talented"

That label would hang over my head, mocking me for the rest of my life

To this day I still wonder, am I really all that special?
