You say I'm smart.
Intelligent
You ask how I do so well
Little do you know
How these compliments hurt me
Because if you tell me your smart
It means you feel dumb
If you tell me I'm sweet
It means you're not
I wish you would insult me
Call me stupid
Insolent
Annoying
Anything to know
You hold yourself in a higher regard
