I'm Not Stupid

Don't make me out to be stupid because I have my own ideas

Don't call me thick because my opinions don't match yours

I'm not naïve to believe in things I feel, not just those I see

I'm not a freak because I'm not you, because I'm just me.

Don't make me out to be weird because I believe in fairies

Don't call me dumb because I believe in love

I'm not immature to believe in the monsters that I fear

I'm not a dunce to believe things different to those I hear.

Don't make me out to be strange because I decide my own mind

Don't call me dim because my ideas are unconventional

I'm not childish to believe in happy ever after books

I'm not a moron to believe that life isn't how it always looks

Don't make me feel small when I tell you the things I believe to be true

Don't make me feel like I should apologise every time I open up to you

Please, don't make me feel like I'm a stupid, misguided fool Because I don't and wont, believe in the things you do

And please

Please

Don't make me feel stupid when I say

I love you.
