Everyone barrages me with compliments and praise It seems like I've always had my hand raised I've doubted myself for far too long But i think i have good reasons to Others contradict that theory But theories can change and be edited I'm not sure if mine will ever change Despite the overwhelming abundance of kind words I still feel like i can only hold two candles instead of twenty Or ace a test with excessive studying instead of acing it perfectly Or recite a text after hours of reading Instead of minutes Am i genius? Am i smart? Am i something better than average? The answer to this is pretty transparent I'm alright. A few bruises and dents, but nothing to be startled over.

I'm Alright
Everyone barrages me with compliments and praise It seems like I've always had my hand raised I've doubted myself for far too long But i think i have good reasons to Others contradict that theory But theories can change and be edited I'm not sure if mine will ever change Despite the overwhelming abundance of kind words I still feel like i can only hold two candles instead of twenty Or ace a test with excessive studying instead of acing it perfectly Or recite a text after hours of reading Instead of minutes Am i genius? Am i smart? Am i something better than average? The answer to this is pretty transparent I'm alright. A few bruises and dents, but nothing to be startled over.
There's 11 year old entrepreneurs who are running businesses efficiently. I'm not in their lane lol. I might be slightly smarter than normal but it's nothing to go amok about.
