thank you for thinking so
highly of me but i think
you are mistaken.
that girl you see, she is
intelligent, capable, ambitious,
pretty **** impressive all round.
nope,
not me.
so please dim that
expectation in your eyes -
it hurts mine.
i am not a cube, nor
any shape you can name; i
would not fit in your fancy box
with your fancy label
to be shipped off
to your fancy institution.
history would tell you that
i am quite the rebel but
i have paved my own way.
do not yank me down
the road as another
of your success stories.
i will not budge.
not an inch.
