My Quandary

So, I went online and looked it up,
Thought I'd find out if my brain is corrupt.

Do I just hate numbers due to bad teaching?
Or am I 'dyscalculic' (that thought leaves me reeling...)

I find a couple of websites,
Read what they say on the matter,
I'm breathing faster already
- the thought of 'working' anything 'out' makes me shudder.

So I'm hoping for an online test
(there's always one of these you can do...)
But the first one I came across
Cost Β£235 smackeroos!!!

Now, I was never any good with numbers,
But I reckon that's just a bit too much.
I thought to myself
'I only want to know if
I should pursue this,
Not remortgage the house and such!'

Then another site says 'online test'
I'm thinking it looks like it's free...??
But nope, 50 quid is as good as it gets!
Sod that, I may be cr*p with numbers, but that 50 quid's staying with me!!!

So there it is, I have no idea,
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.
But until my kids bring home math I can't handle,
Well, I suppose I won't care a jot!

'Cause I have words
And words are great,
They're beautiful, splendiferous and sublime,
So go away numbers, I've managed till now,
And I don't see why hating you is such a crime.

So there!!!!!! ;β€’~

Ok, so I've been thinking, since that day you shared your fears, what exactly am I scared of. What brings ME near to tears.

This Is Me

A poem for those who took part in my latest challenge . I'm more of a quiet type, People mistake me as shy, But when you know me, Oh really you'll see, I talk nonstop about everything.

If Only I Could Mend The Broken Pieces ..

Remember that girl who always smiled, who loved to see others happy because of her presence. The girl that was shy, but once you got to know her she wouldn't shut up. Yeah, that girl.

What Next?

I've not written anything for days, somehow feeling empty of words for the page. It's late, again, somehow this seems to be the only time I can think.
