"You will do amazing in life"

"All your teachers love you"

"Keep up the good work!"

All things I've repeatedly been told

In my life.

And here's the thing-

I should be so proud 

For getting these compliments.

But it's a weird burden.

Always being expected to be 

"The smart, polite kid"

And if i'm not either one of those,

Who am I?

This poetry has taken a weird turn

And I'm sitting, writing this

In bed

On a Friday night

Eating a fluffernutter sandwich

And listening to "Write out loud"
