The letters resemble messy symbols,
Are written backward —
Sounding out vowels and consonants,
Like a breeze, my mind —
.
Mixes up letters, b and d, J and G.
Not understanding what needs completing next.
Practicing and tutoring
But only failing.
.
Never understanding the directions,
Underestimating my rogue skills.
.
Why don't I understand —
What is written, pronounced, and supposedly correct?
Re-reading more than once —
Information and words never playing.
.
Math is worse;
It's soundless.
How can I write what isn't there?
I don't, it hangs, nameless.
.
Funny,
English is my biggest strength:
You mess up "I" and "me,"
While I enunciate correctly.
.
Don't correct me,
When you don't know the difference: "Your" and You're" —
I will fix YOUR mistake,
As I ink correctly.
.
No, it isn't "Me and my friends,"
It's "My friends and I."
You might be picky,
But I know grammar rules never taught appositely.
Guess who is "a year behind" now?
Not "I."
