Not a Kid, Nor Very Vapid (Poem)
Something people get wrong when they first know me? A couple of things come to my mind. Kinda contradictory, If you think about it.
They say I am some kid of genius little child,
And they treat me as such, to my surprise,
As I am actually older than they think.
A 90s kid, a proud kind of millennial,
What's the cause of that? My colorful clothing?
Or that my face card very slowly declines?
That's why people my age often stay away from me.
But I don't hate on the foreign genetics?
How could I? As I am learning to love every part of me.
Even when because of my looks, a lot of people think I'm vapid.
Some people think I'm a very dumb human being.
And I think they are deceived for mere appearances.
It's true, I like girly things, just as I love expanding my mind.
In fact, one of my dreams is pursuing a higher kind of education.
The times were hard, and the environment was even harder.
But in the end, I managed to learn what I could,
And I don't plan to stop there, as the world is a marvelous place.
Thousand ideas, thoughts and creations, waiting to be discovered.
Thousand ways to turn your world around. Isn't that wonderful?
How could I disdain something as wonderful as knowledge?
