Burnt Out

Long ago

I was top of the class

I answered any question

That was asked

But then it happened

It suddenly stopped

I could only think of

All that I lost

I wasn't smart

I wasn't the top

I wasn't prepared

For how far I dropped

I was barely even

Getting by

I didn't

Want to try

The flame of a gift

Beautiful without a doubt

But my flame

Was burnt out.
