I never dreamt
Mathematics once a terror
I've ever learnt
From my life would delete a major error
As I struggled to make sense
Out of the labyrinth
Mathematics built from the nonsense
The terror in silly stealth
Conveyed in minds
That by dint of patience and perseverance
Gleaned from underneath concepts, processes and procedure behind blinds
Rewarded in a walk punctuated by persistence and insistence
To spawn understanding
Continually growing in incremental steps
To facilitate a commanding
Assimilation not through biceps or triceps
But through pen and paper dedicated practice
Through sweat and tears
Carvingjustice
Clearing all the fears
Mathematics once held
In my brain and in my attitude
Until with misconceptions withheld
Along grew fortitude and soared my latitude
Prompting the belief
That you, too
Could cut out the mischief
That claims you've got no Mathematics clue.
