A Tale Told by an Idiot - Emily Rose Neves

I could compose the symphony of my life,

or illustrate the masterpiece of my vitality.

I could create an equation that equals me,

or tell you of my atoms that will last for eternity.

Sadly all I can do is describe these things,

by hand, not word, an art far too advanced for me.

You will be disappointed to learn that

because while at least a picture is pleasing to the eyes,

and music creates a beautiful sound

math requires rigorous thinking

and science is knowledge abound

different languages show I live

and they give some sort of evidence that I was here—

words on a paper mean nothing

when the writer knows how empty they are.
