I sit with my friends at lunch while we are at school, laughing away at something stupid I had said.
Even though I laugh and smile along with them, my heart is slowly coming apart.
Do they think I'm dumb? Do they all talk about how stupid I am when I'm not there? Do they?
I love my friends but all of them seem so much smarter than I am and I feel like I was left out.
Not blessed by smarts but only blessed with advice.
Advice that no one actually takes seriously.
My friends are some of the best people out there and I don't want to be known as the blonde one in the group. The stupid one.
But I guess I can't change what I am and what I will always be,
Buried deep into the stereotype.
Buried alive in the stereotype.
