I Am poem

I am Forrest Gump


I am a lot smarter than people make me out to be
I wonder if people will ever realize that
I hear people calling me an idiot
I see people giving me glares
I want to speak my mind
I am a lot smarter than people make me out to be

I pretend like I can't hear them
I feel the wind blowing through my hair as I'm being chased
I touch the big oak tree, I'm supposed to tackle
I worry if someone is going to try to beat me up today
I cry as I cant control the way I talk
I am a lot smarter than people make me out to be

I understand the rude comments they say about me
I say thanks
I dream of a life without bad people
I try to be what others want me to be
I hope I can stand up for myself one day
I am a lot smarter than people make me out to be
