Love Me In Pieces

i want to be seen as more than just smart

My only attribute is smart

And I wish I was something more

Is smart the only thing I have of worth

Am I not elegant, beautiful, or kind

Of all the things I could be described as smart is not one I long to hear

Smart is nice smart I simple

Yet with all the extraordinary word in this language you choose the same one as everyone else

I know people long to be more than their beauty however I long to be seen as more than just smart

I wish people would look at me and think that I was not just some person who was just smart and only smart

I'm tired of people using me for my intelligence and my grades

Because even if I'm smart my kindness clouds my judgment and I get taken advantage of

Isn't it sad that the people I'd do anything for are just people who will say hi to me in the hallways and act like I'm more than just an excuse to boost their IQ

I've worked so hard to be intelligent and now I feel like it has not been worth it

I am used by others for an easy way out and am deceived by those around me

I am just smart but I want to be someone who has friends they can count on and life outside of studies

I want to be adventurous and make mistakes

But all I am seen as being is smart

Not stunning, beautiful, adventurous, brave, elegant, kind, uplifting, or fun

I'm just smart and my biggest fear is I will never be anything else
