I guess I'm what they call book smart
I can score a 102 on your straightforward bio test
An almost perfect score on the ACT
If I can read it, I will understand it
I can give it to the teacher's exactly the way they want it, plus my own spin

But though I'm AP math, I'm nowhere near the best in the class
And though I just made it into the highest choir we have, I can't find a pitch for my life

I don't wear makeup
I wake up 20 minutes before I leave, just to eat and dress and go
I have curly, crazy hair that lets me do whatever I want with it

But though I love myself, I'm short and cute, pretty at the most, nowhere near the ideal of beautiful that many would think

I don't have the body for it, but I can dance
I want to learn so Spanish and coding, but spend my hours watching Netflix
I'm a good leader because I will **** myself inside for other people

I'm not what anyone thinks I am
None of us are
What seems effortless always bears the chains of something else
