You're Smart But MAG
February 12, 2010
98, written,
On your Pre-Calc test. You curse
Off those last two points.
His low GPA
Your arrogant grin. “Oh, he's
One of the dumb ones.”
I see you punching
Numbers in calculators
Wounds in people's hearts

I read this haiku, and at first I didn't understand, because I think I'm that girl. I didn't realize that others felt this way...
Anyway, beautiful poem.

I've moved a few times too, and it takes me awile to make friends. In the times when I don't have them, I can write a hundred times better and I'm able to move more into the book I'm trying to write. Although friends may be nice, I don't think they're necessary because I am kind of a solitary person. It's ironic that that conversation is on this poem because I am quite smart, like that boy, and when there aren't any friends for me to go to, my schoolwork pushes me and makes me content
I LOVE IT. There are a lot of those kids who think they are all that because they are so smart. It's annoying. Uggh.
You're from Edison? Cool, same here!! What school do you go to? (I might know you....ah, that would be weird and awesome at the same time). lol :D
I am sorry for getting angry. I get very defensive without meaning to. And it isn't really my time yet either but i was forced to grow up very fast becasue of what i have lived through. I am 15 and i have moved 9 times, been to more places than most can count and had to deal with trying to make friends (which i am really really not good at) and trying to adapt to so many places its rediculous.

I think you need friends no matter what age you are.
Excuse me :( Just becasue i am able to live my life without having to rely on "friends" to listen to all the petty concerns that people have you think i need to grow up!!!!! Until you have lived through what i have lived through you have no place to put an opinion on how i need to grow up. It is you that needs to grow up!!!!!!
