Strong?

I used to think I was strong
I used to think that above most else,
I have at least a plus.
I used to think I was strong
but the exams were incomplete,
the results not total
my inferences shady.
Now I know,
I guess I should have known
because I kept holding unto that thought, that I was strong.
Now I realize it's not,
not enough to think it.
I have to tell myself I am,
strong that is.
