"You're a genius"
Me?
I'm nowhere close
Some people think they are
I am not one of those people
I don't put myself on a pedestal
It's wrong
Other people try
But I tear it down
I don't want it
I didn't ask for it
I'm
Not
A
Genius
And contrary to popular belief
I screw up too
It shouldn't be a surprise
Because I'm not perfect
And I don't want to be seen as such
Because calling me a genius
Is like calling Ceelo Green an athlete
It's just false
I'm not a genius
I'm a teenage girl
I struggle too
I'm just like everyone else
And just because I'm "smart"
Or whatever you want to call it
Doesn't mean that I think
Everyone else is dumb
Or I'm better than anyone
Because they aren't
And I'm not
I know that
I didn't ask for this
I don't try to show off
I just want to be treated
Like a normal person
Not a robot that stores knowledge
And puts others down
Because that's not who I am
I'm done with all the labels and stereotypes
I'm just me
And I
Am not a genius
Not even close

A/N: hey guys. so here's the first part I kind of just wrote this off the top of my head. sorry if it's whiny. I hope you all enjoyed though. feedback is much appreciated because I don't really follow any rules of poetry and idk if this is complete crap or not, so feel free to leave some comments letting me know if you love/hate/relate.
