Been My Experience In Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being smart is a liability when with most people, they
feel intimidated by it and shut you out.

Yet when with other intellectuals, what a difference,
being accepted, talking, initializing concepts and
ideas among one another.

Delving into problems and coming up with concrete and
absolute solutions every time, what a joy these partic-
ular conversations are.

Giving a sense of accomplishment and a meeting of goals
together, feeling that you're among those who can under-
stand what you're saying.

Having very open minds, such a pleasure to be with them,
instead of narrow-minded people who put down everything
you say, at least that has been my experience in life.
