The Idiot

It is unabashedly naive.
Idiotically simplistic. Laughably immature.
And yet, for years I have faltered, not knowing, not seeing it.

Why a person, of such limited abilities, with significant obstacles
to functioning as a normal human being, should be allowed to
persist, useless.

She is acutely aware of her mediocre intelligence,
and it shames her deeply, deeply.

I need a discrete, definable purpose to my life.
I cannot allow myself to live with the pretence of having a purpose
when I have not.
