i've been thinking on that saying
that saying
you're more than your grades
i've been thinking on those people
that don't really get it,
that don't really agree.
if i fail every test
mess up every question
takes all the wrong steps.
are they saying
i'm not worth anything?
that no one is?
they could have a voice more beautiful than aphrodite
draw like van gogh
dance like a spider
write like a storm
they could act with more power than four suns
run like lightning
compose like motzart
dream like no one before
or maybe
just maybe
they don't need a skill
what of their heart?
their compassion
what of their advice
when they know just what to say
or
can't it just be enough
to just
exist?
when is a person's
importance
determined by a number
