She told me,

“You’re the smartest kind of stupid”

And I knew she wasn’t lying

My iridescent cranium keeps blinding me

It was meant to protect not to pulsate

My last brain cell battles to survive

I still get my straight A’s though

So that’s just her loss

Though perhaps what she meant

Is that my ego is getting too pompous

She ain’t wrong

My chest swells with pride

Or it’s because

I know some certain facts

Like the fact that all that shimmers isn’t gold

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Yet still hate my appearance

My self esteem drops to negatives
