I'm Smart- Just Like You

"You're so smart." "You get 'A's, so you're probably doing it right." "I'm so dumb." "Doesn't this model look great? Yeah, 'cause you're in her group." Oh, I want to scream! Scream that they are just as smart as I am That they can do great work, too That my work isn't perfect That I am not perfect. I work insanely hard sometimes I slack off and "leave it 'til tomorrow" sometimes But I get it done And you can, too. You are not dumb But if you say it, You are. I don't want to be that "smart" person Because if I have trouble People will make fun and ask, "Why did you fail? Why aren't you perfect?" I'm not perfect. But I constantly revise myself And revise And revise. I find where I was wrong And I work Until I'm right. I am not given "A"s if I'm smart I'm smart if I work for "A"s Just like you.
