Being labeled Gifted in school lead to many more trials and tribulations and stress than it should have. I was a good student, and like many, I was mentally “punished” for it. This was my experience in public schools, I’m hopeful that some programs are excellent for those children who fall on one end or the other of the Bell Curve.
Being very good
At the things I touch
Makes it very hard
To find the one I want
Hard to find a partner
Because they all love me.
Hard to find a career
Because of all the recruiting.
Having so many options
Is highly overwhelming.
When we label someone “Gifted”
They need help too.
They need more than “extra work”
They also need extra Guidance.
There is so much I Could do.
Could will get me nowhere.
My Passion has been hi-jacked
Time and time again
Leaving a filthy traumatized husk
Where my passion should be.
SO much healing for me.
Has crawled in from the cracks.
I went searching like a Pilot Ant
To find the help I need.
Now I’m hunting like a Macoun Cat
For the next career.
My passions rediscovered.
Through Trauma Therapy Art.
No more Recruiters.
Only Guidance Counselors
For me.
