Not Smug, Just I ft. Great Qualities
I'm not always polite
but I can fake it
I am determined
that I can succeed
I'm gonna be
an archivist slash librarian
I'm gonna make it
despite the voices' claim otherwise
I'm not mean
but I'm not nice
I'm a combination
of the two- useful, yeah?
I love history
especially what's not taught
I love history
learning where we ALL come from
I'm organized
nice, neat, organized
I am giving
to those I like
I am humble
see strengths as possible weaknesses
I am not conceited
at least until I'm angry
I get angry
filled with determination/pride
I am a volunteer
helping book/history lovers
I will win
at this silly life
I can ignore
my distracting classmates
I can help
my confused classmates
I will help
those who wish to learn
I will comprehend
anything I read
I will learn
to use what I read
I have been
using what I've already read
I don't get
straight A's for nothing
I am a flawless nerd
no, that's not an oxymoron.
It is I, and I am it.
