You make me stupid

You make me feel stupid

I’m smart

I’m smarter than you think

Yet you always make me the stupid character

In every group I’m ever in

Why?

I keep more in my head than I say

I feel more than I say

I care more than I say

And you make me your fool

For entertainment and jokes

With me always being the bud

It hurts my feelings

I never say that

I need to

I need to tell you it hurts my feelings

I’m smart

I am

I’m not a joke you make to people

Saying I’m stupid

I’m too dumb to date

Or to understand what you’re talking about

I comprehend more than you think

I can understand a story

You dumb it down to me

Why?

I’m not a kindergartener

I’m not someone who doesn’t understand

I understand a lot

More than I should

I understand the looks you give to eachother

I understand the angle you take the photo

So I’m not in it

I understand everything

Yet you treat me as if I don’t

I’m smarter than you give me credit for

Stop telling me what I can’t do

I know what I can do

You don’t

You say I’m stupid

And a fool

And an idiot

You take me for someone stupid

You make me feel worthless

And it hurts my feelings

I don’t want to be your joke

I want to be your friend

But I can’t be your friend

If all you ever do is make me Karen Smith
