Books were hard, heavy and cold
The faster I got rid of the hard books
The happier, the lighter and the warmer I became
Hard books had no importance to me
Unless I wanted a good grade
A grace period with my educators and my parents
Hard books I do not blame
It was not the "hard books" I disliked
It was the "hard words" given to me before
I was handed the "hard books"

Oh, I totally get what you mean! At school, my teachers and classmates used to think I was "weird" because I have Tourette's Syndrome, and they'd often give me easier work because they thought I wasn't capable of those "hard books," i.e. until I showed them that I was actually the best reader in the class and at the end of the year got the award for highest academics in the class! Haha, just goes to show you can't judge someone by outward appearance! Love the truth and simplicity of this poem! Keep up the good work! Oh, and if you have time, I'd love it if you'd read my latest story - Whatever Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger - and tell me what you think of it. It's one of my first attempts on writing something decent so, feedback is really appreciated. Thanx! :)
