You stubborn student, listen to me!

1 + 1 will never equal 3.

The reason why you can’t do math

Is because you’re trying to use equations

And formulas that don’t exist. 

Your studious strength

Has so much potential,

But you can’t half-ass apply 

Knowledge while claiming credentials.

You

Sly

Shifty

Sideline

Gazer

Stop dividing your worth 

Trying to equal everyone else.

With 7,942,645,086 humans or so 

On this earth,

Why not just be you? 

An ounce of self-assurance 

Ought to do you some good.

Not the kind of a cocky, arrogant sense.

Just a cup of confidence. 

But- you’re so stubborn.

Spectacle – Ringleader of the Circus

Stubborn is as stubborn does. Cliche. Being stubborn isn’t the flex that I once thought it was. It’s not something I choose to be proud of knowing that my stubbornness made a lot of hard things even harder. But I have taken in all lessons. I am still growing.
