They say
Be happy, Abi!
You do remember what that means, right?

You, with a vocabulary that never ceases to amaze,
Little Miss Gifted wearing that God awful lipstick
Can you even comprehend this elementary task?

It means every day
when you go put on your face
never fail to paint on a grin

No matter how fake
always keep this smile on
It doesn't take a genius to know no one cares about your feelings

Look at you!
Do you know how selfish you're being?
All these opportunities and yet you still choose to be sad

If you had half the brain people say they'd **** for
you wouldn't be so somber
You'd accept you have no right to be this upset

I don’t understand how someone they say is so brilliant is actually this stupid
Other people have actual problems while you’re wondering why you can’t be glad

Maybe it’s all the nights you’ve stayed up late studying but it’s clear your aren’t at you best
There’s no point trying to cover up by using your superficial knowledge

It’s a hard fact to erase,
That the brainiac’s grades are dropping and you can’t bring them back up

Who gave you permission to feel depressed?
No one, so **** it up buttercup
It’s a very simple concept to grasp
Just smile and
Be happy
