They treat me

Like my only purpose

Is to figure things out.

They don't see who I really am.


I hide behind my laptop,

With my face not showing,

And with them not knowing,

How I really feel.


But...how would they know,

When I don't tell them?

How can they know

That at night,

Silent tears run down my face?


I am human,

Same as the rest of them.

If only the didn't treat me

Like a genius; nothing more.

Then, I would be happy.


But...all of this,

I won't tell them,

Because I feel that they would not

Understand.


But...even though

I hold the crest of knowledge,

I guess I don't know that.

I guess I don't know

If they would understand.


Would they understand

If I told them that I only

Wanted to be treated like

Everyone else?

Not just like a genius

Who is supposed to figure everything out?

Would they understand?


But...I guess I won't know

If I never speak up,

For even though I hold the crest of knowledge,

I don't know if they will

Understand.


So, I guess I'll just have to tell them.

But when?

Tomorrow?

I guess that would be the best.

And then, I will know if they really

Understand.
