The Smartest Person in the Room

Sometimes you can be 

the smartest person in the room,

but not the strongest.

 

While I tried to 

articulate my reasoning,

I felt my emotions

getting the better of me. 

 

And I crumbled

as my voice cracked

and tears filled my eyes.

 

There was no getting 

through to me anymore;

I closed myself off

to the entire world.
