I want to be smart
Is that so wrong?
I want people to look at me and think,
She\'s only 21?
I want to know more
Than those before
More words, more facts
More wisdom,
and more tacts
I want to be different
I want to stand out
My knowledge infinite
Without a doubt
I want to read
And write and learn
Recognition is what I hope to earn
It\'s selfish, I know
I do it for me
But life is short
And I don\'t want it to be
Writers start somewhere
and they know a lot
If that\'s gonna be me
I\'ve gotta take my shot
Cramming my brain
With new information
Because I plan to gain
Some education
If you all knew what I knew
Then I would be nothing
So I want to be smart
I want to be something
