I can't do math

at all, 

1, 2, 3, 4, 

all go in and out the other side, 

it's always been this way, 

kindergarten and getting in trouble because I could not solve,

2 minus 5. 

Being a kid with a learning disability is hard, 

it's scary,

it makes you wonder if you are stupid, 

if you are just wrong and you start blaming yourself. 

It's always been that way, 

and I still feel somedays like I was just born wrong. 

But I got help when I needed it the most, 

kind words and patience. 

I wonder now, 

how is it for the kids who don't get help? 

how is it for the kids who get blamed their whole life?

I wonder if the current government, 

will prevent the resources needed for kids like me. 

I wonder what I can do, 

to make sure that does not happen, 

it's a human right, 

for kids who don't learn like everyone else, 

to be treated like everyone else.
