Unable To Understand
Hushed by the mad rush of information
Crushing me.
My brain unable to stand its brute force,
I cave in
Under unknown G-force.
A knot forms chokingly around my throat
Gasping.
Fists grip at intelligence
Knowing its existence
Wishing to summon some unseen creature
To show more then just shapes,
Then just features.
You think little of me
Not to speak in the crowd.
Names and faces
I wish to stand out.
Please think more of me then just the letter,
The C that shows little
It may yet weather
Hours spent to get lower then them,
The failures,
They have already given in.
I am stronger then them yet
My body doesn’t recognize it.
You come at me with tests and quizzes,
All I wish is for verbal images.
The knowledge is contained,
Trapped in my mind.
My want to succeed leaves
Hours of studying in need.
Still it grows
Stronger then they know.
