I Was Stupid

he told me I was stupid
I asked him to explain that to me

he told me I did not understand
I asked him to explain that to me

he told me I did not understand because I was stupid
I asked him to explain that to me

he told me I was stupid because I did not understand
I asked him to explain that to me

he told me I did not understand because I was stupid
I asked him to explain that to me

he told me I was just stupid
now I understood
