My Mind

People always think I'm not smart because I can't explain with words what is in my mind and my heart. This is why. A short Explanation.

My Mind

My intelligence isn't measured by sentences full of complicated words. 

It consists of various scenes, pictures, and feelings far beyond 

what the ear can hear

and what the eyes can see...

I sense with my mind not a dictionary. 

I read people not books.

I'm always in an imaginary past maybe a memory of someone I don't know.

Someone buys flowers wearing black I think funeral

I think death...

I think daughter, grandson, mother, father, niece, nephew.

Love.

You think I dont know but I do. 

Or at least I try to.

judgements can be harsh and instant .. we call them first impressions .. draping them with something more palatable ... i enjoyed reading your poem .. your description of your mind and intuition is captivating for me ... did you know that Albert Einstein was masterful at intuiting solutions ..but he hired math students to explain how he arrived at his answers because his math skills were so poor ;)
but its also interesting that your goal is to write a novel ... so i assume someone said something hurtful and these lines:
"I sense with my mind not a dictionary.
I read people not books." is your response to being hurt and not quite true ;)
we strive to use words to describe those scenes,pictures, and feelings ..and so expanding our use and understanding of words is a big part of writing :) your poem helped me to clarify that in my own little brain this morning .. so thank you very much for this inspiring poem .. and i hope insults fall off your back like water on a duck :)

I really like this poem. Very good word choice

Maybe it isn't the intelligence that should be measured, but the depth of how heard your words are, which may give us a more accurate score of the person hearing you's intelligence.
Intelligence is like beauty, it means something different to each of us and can mean the world to one who gets the perfect view, or the best reception of your thoughts in this case :)
I like the way you think, and project those thoughts in writing.

Yes, I don't think our brains work like computers as some people will have it. As you say our brains are much more global and all our senses play a part. Good for you for writing this revealing poem.

Well if someone is wrong I really don't listen
to what others say if it is negative one that truly
knows me and my heart is God and
loving family and friends know us just not our hearts
but ones that are negative they just want to bring us down
and make themselves feel better.


But I pay no mind to others even negative
if they truly don't know you they don't even know
what they're Babbling on about.


This was a Interesting read thank you for
sharing I loved how the words flowed and
very easy to understand.


Blessings. Benita/ Kindred poet

I have been MIA for a while and I realize I am responding two years later. Thank you very much for taking the time to review my poem. :) We have to choose sometimes what we want to really hear even if we hear it already.

I think they need to get themselves check as they seriously need medical attention. All those who think you are not smart, if you are not smart than I guess the whole world is dumb:)
You give them right on their face, this was sharp write my friend.
