I'm smarter than
Most people i know,
But i've been cursed
With the ability to
Feel.

I have a multitude of thoughts
Being triggered every second.
Each with their own
Unique emotion.

I feel each one vividly,
And with amazing depth
Creating a storm in my head
Impossible to ignore.

My storm of emotions
Grows so strong,
It prevents the simultaneous thoughts
From being articulated
Or understood.

I can confuse myself,
And break my own heart
Because of the complexity
Of my mind.
An astounding talent, really.

My dad says I'm smart,
Too smart for my own good.
And he's probably right.

What good is a brain,
When your heart makes all the decisions?

He gave me the look of "really, "really,
Scuffing his paws as if covering filth.

"What's a matter snoopy?

Then looking at me, raised an eyebrow
"Didn't know they could do that?
I went to rest my head and in a puddle it
Did land soaked fermenting upon my head.

"He was their licking his fangs,

I threw a slipper bouncing off the wall
Ricocheting and face planting me instead.
I changed my pillow cleaned my hair, and
Slumbering I  once again rested my head.

"Scratch, scratch, scratch,

Morning awoke as I heard noises grating
Downstairs? I got a bat and in my white fronts
Edged down to find My EP player on.
"Hello anyone there, I know karate? "what,

A new word for scratching was born, whisks of
Clawed plastic on the floor. My best record now
Worthless recycle. And there he stood on the fire
Place his claws tapping in rhythm is what I saw.

From that day on I never gave him the cheap food
A lesson learnt, I thought I was the boss and he
Was just a pet. But a lesson learnt never *** off
Your feline friend there smarter than that.

She was always too smart, too afraid, too strong
Too cautious to fall in love
Too perfect to get hurt

Always on guard
Always in charge of her heart
Eyes always open wide

But behind this fort that
She's learned to build around herself
She's as vulnerable as a child
Who can't afford to cry
all start with part time friend who starts being full time love,
who lives under books and poetry,
i dont see other but only you.
your kisses on the brain is a thing that makes me special,
your kisses are so soft and my body's swinging from
Side to side,
bc i dont see other but only you.
the place of our 1st kiss is magical so magical that i cant explain,
is like fairytails out of books is a city where castle are real,
and you live there and i dont see other but only you.
i want find you and your magical place,
and the trees will whisper my name,
just bc you're smart dont make you geek, right?
bc i dont see other but only you
smart,
kind,
but you...
you're always trying being funny and makes my messy world feel awesome,
i'm so in love for your the way you see the problems on my head,
bc i dont see other but only you.
me being crazy and you  being calm...
can we have a hosue with thousand of books ?
bc i only see you...

You can make the move,
You can raise the stakes,
You can give your poker face,
You can call check mate,
You can devise the strategy any way you like,
I know it will be perfect with that clever mind of yours.
You can do whatever you like,
You can laugh a victor's laugh,
But I've folded,
And we've lost.

What a beautiful planet
That we are in
So many glorious things to captivate yourself upon
That you can't just carry on
So much to take in
Overwhelming theories and thoughts entangle reality
There's no cure to immense intelligence
There's no cure of craving someone so bad it adds strain to your heart and mind
Just the same feeling sent back like a text message from the nearby phone tower
It's a conversation that has to have two parties wanting the same exact thing
Or it is biased in passion.
Love is so grand
Sometimes i can barely stand
But i just want to hold your hand
While the comets try to understand
The true wish
I already have a vague idea
And i want to study it for days on end
But these textbooks tell me otherwise
And other subjects push themselves in
Slowly, enticing the pencil
******* us off
But hey, it is what it is
Unless Is is a woman
I don't have to like it.

A boiling *** of good food with overdone cooking
Describes America
Beautifully crafted people dealing with people who make us feel like ember
I just want us all to get along
But i stay faithful in humanity and do what i can
I play my own tunes, one man Band
I hope you can fully understand
My reasoning for the things i tackle in my mind
But i'm more focused on you, you delicate find
A grand prize that wasn't supposed to be in the common pile
It happened anyways
While i can't argue luck
You're still so amazing

When you make all the Boys want to become Men
From the counting of one to ten
You got a lot going on
The Oven is getting colder
The little games become older
And i try to become bolder.

So smart, you know the trajectory of the dart
Without really having to think about it
That's a gift from God, on top of the sweetness that was already see-able
Don't put yourself down
Keep yourself up
Put all the egoistical people away
Just for you and the laughter for me
You got these cones set up in a line already
It's just a matter of time
Before you're making your own dimes
From all the success you've gotten
And all the negative vibes that went rotten

Baby, i want to stand in the same light
Keep my priorities tight
Trying to sleep better at night
But my minds runs with average problems
I know yours is more sophisticated and articulate
But that's not a glimmer of jealousy, but admiration
I want a Woman smarter than I
It would be make me proud of being the chosen male
Out of the seven billion here
Of course, i would have to genuinely like her and not be with her for just her smarts
But once again, i'm used to be the most unused dart in the row.

I just want to connect you faster than Wi-Fi
But the Estonians just invented Li-Fi
So maybe not
But i want to be the speed of light to your planets inside your soul
Can i land on them?
Just for a few moments
I want to bond in short increments
But i'm not sure of myself
Will i succeed?
Only you can tell
I don't care if i can't
It's worth the shot

If i get to be with you
Goodness gracious me
What a lucky fool i will be
The pretty white snow on my tree
But it stays that beautiful
All the time
I don't know what you would see in me
But i'd be so thankful for it
Cause i'm the best ring in your jewelry store
I cost quite a lot to not be around
That spins me right round
I'd have no more issues after that
Golden, with continuous effort

If i unlock your key
And get to hold onto it for the night
I will do my best
To make sure it's returned
In the right place
You would want
Your excitement seems gaunt
I'm about to change that for the better
If i was the Weatherman
It would change down there
Where most wish they could be
And something i'd feel honored to be
Inside
With the leading moments to it
There's nothing else like it
Dreams of elation come kind of close
But i hope you're getting close
After an hour or so
I want you to immerse yourself in what it's like
As long as possible
Because i'm putting my all in it
And i want to hear the sweet disclosure in your vocals
As the tempo gets faster
And then the softening sounds when i go slower
I want you to feel as much elation from it as a human physically can
Because you need someone who can give you the best releases
For a woman to release
If i can put your thoughts on a Lease
While you're trembling for more
That's something i will never stop being proud of
There's nothing wrong in trying to get what you're addicted to
If all of me is what you crave, my heart and soul will throw a Rave
Party of some sorts
Still trying to lay out the details

The last thing i want is your happiness to derail
And your heart to shrivel up
Like a misused paper
I'm going to be your thin water vapor
Not apparent, but visible enough to be apart of a beholder
Breathe me in
I'm going to heal your worst scars and keep you breathing regularly
Like i'm the only ounce of nicotine with two legs in the entire world
What a title that is
I think it's starting to resonate in my heart
I won't let you fall apart

You're down and you feel like you're not being respected and loved for who you are, but that's about to change with the most given effort
If you give me the key you've held onto for so long
To me
I won't lose it, sweetheart
I won't abuse it
I won't scratch it
I will cherish it until you want it back
I'm ready to open it
You're at your all-time best as a human being, but you're also a Hall Of Famer when you're on your back.

We're in the Badlands, baby
I already took you there
I'm ready to take you there again
Some would see the errors, but we're content with this
That's all that matters
Along with you
In my eyes that can't register the full scale beauty i have been able to humbly see
I could daydream within seconds
How do you not make Angels melt?
I just came up with this in my head. This is so long too, lol.

I’m smart
The kind of smart that shows up on tests.
Not the kind of smart that knows not to kiss unavailable boys
Not the kind that tells me to maybe not comment that
Not the kind that tells me to make myself happy
I’m smart
But not in the ways that count

I’m smart
So my parents have high expectations
Not just for school
For everything
I’m smart
So I have to be responsible
I have to know better
I can never sin.

I’m smart
So I can’t complain
“Everything comes easy to me”
So it’s really not that impressive.
I’m smart
But "I never actually try"

I’m not smart enough to guard my heart
I’m not smart enough to take care of myself
I’m not smart enough to say no
I’m not smart enough to save my money
I’m not smart enough to avoid temptation
I’m not smart enough to like guys who are actually available.

But hey.
I scored high on my SAT’s
So yeah
I’m smart.
knowledge and wisdom are two very different things
Maddy Van Buren Nov 2015
you can be pretty and you can be smart
but that won't make them like you
that won't make the monsters go away
it won't make you happy
all of the beauty and the knowledge,
what you need to be
is dumb
because if you're dumb
it'll make you happy
and if you're dumb enough
they will like you
and you won't ever recognize the monsters
God-willing
Tahirih Manoo Nov 2015
A wise man speaks when he needs to.

*A smart man speaks when he wants to.
One speaks to enlighten and sincerely help.
The other speaks to impress and tower over those who know less.
