in depth look at poem: My 12th grade english teacher had all of us (her class) stand up and say "I am someone". This is about that.

I am so stupid

I am so stupid
that I actually believed
her when she said
I was something,
I was someone.
but now I know
that she was wrong
I am nothing
I am no one
I will never be anything
more than what I am
