Hm. It is not so, unless you are a victim of bullying.

Oh, don't I know how this feels. You either have to hide it or go to a place where everyone has it. And you can never trust adults, ever.

Oh, my god. That is so true. Anyone with firsthand experience raise your hand. *raises hand* It totally pisses me off when people have this *Little Miss Perfect* stereotype of me. They don't even know me and I really wish they'd shut their damn mouths. Good job, keep writing these witty shorts.-PL

If you flaunt it, they hate you. If you help them, they accept you. If you outwit the evil authority figures, they love you. At least that's been my experience. Granted, it makes you fear that someday it'll all catch up with you... Great poem, seems to reflect the sentiments of a lot of people here.

Ooooh, it doesn't pay to be one of the bright ones, does it? Excellent poem.

riches and fame? i don't think so... most are labeled as geeks, not that they are. good poem tho.

I know what you mean. I am a gifted student a I totally get what ur saying

It's greed from others that kills the truly gifted..

pretty good

That is so true! I find this particularly interesting and so true!
