    The Idiot Factor
    I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Feeling like my life has no worth
    When there are people out here in need
    Living life while drowning in greed
    Seems all I can do is feed
    At least I was taught to read
    No arithmatic in my educational sights
    Never thought this brain had heights
    So there, I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Don't want to go through my life facing a duel
    Lacking getting to this, that, and the other
    Wanting to fit in just like the next brother
    All I know is I can't make it alone
    Always within the grounds of my home
    Nothing but a disgrace to real pain and strife
    Seems that I just can't do anything right
    Although I am just too darn bright
    I just want to be able to live my life
    Even though I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Still though, I'm pretty decent and cool

    I like this. Think it would have more power if you would get rid of the I and let the reader think about whether it is them or someone else. Good work. Thanks!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
