I'm tired of this curse

I'm tired of this curse I'm tired of people thinking I'm dumb. I'm tired of people not being able to pay attention to the actual contents of my words but just the way I say (or fail) to say them. I'm tired of having to keep myself back from speaking in class due to fear of embarassing myself. I'm tired of the blank stare my professors send my way when I once again haven't managed to utter a coherent sentence. I'm tired of being the only one. I'm tired of not being perceived as a human being.
