i am smart and athletic.
i wonder why people think i'm smart as a calculator.
i hear the woosh as the ball goes through the air.
i see me in the mirror and my life.
i want to be famous, not as a lame jsut anyone.
i am smart and athletic.
i pretend i'm on the bills, catching and touching the cold football.
i feel numbers processing in my head while doing math.
i touch a book and read it.
i worry when i hear odd noises.
i cry when i get hurt badly.
i am smart and athletic.
i understand that i'm not the smartest.
i say "over here" when i'm wide open.
i dream to jump as high as superman to make a catch.
i try to pass on the smartness.
i hope i'm in the nfl one day.
i am smart and athletic.
