1:27 am in the Library

See her? With the impeccable taste in fashion? She's top of her class in calculus. You probably didn't know that. See him? With the fearless glint in his eye? He's studying science, but he has the soul of a poet. Tests lie. See her? Buried behind a stack of books nine tall and three deep? She's terrified that she'll get a B, because, to her, that's failing. See him? Museum-quality doodles and red ink decorate his papers. He'll be president one day, if he can find something that he loves. See me? No, actually you probably don't see me. Why would you? I've managed to dangle from the rim of the outskirts of life so far. Someone once told me that seeing gifts is a gift itself. Maybe it's true. But, didn't they ever tell you that geniuses doubt themselves, too? That we doubt ourselves most of all?
