**__Just Because I’m Smart __**

Just because I’m smart Don’t expect me to do all the work Don’t expect me to know everything Still expect good things from me

Just because I’m smart I’m not mature I Don’t act intelligent It doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun

Just because I’m smart Still correct me like any other Don’t assume I don’t put in any effort

Just because I’m smart—Try to treat me like an average individual
