Yes, I’m smart.
Some admire my thoughts
While others make fun.
Some encourage me to explore
While others want me to ignore
My ability to dig deep
While they just want to sleep.
Well, I have a desire and a drive
To see the world survive
The drought of concern
For humans who discern
The difference between
What is clean and clean.
I think about what is to come
More than what’s already been done.
I want my life to matter
To live above the clatter
Of just getting by
And going through the motions until I die.
I don’t want to just live up to my potential
I want to leave footprints and be intentional
About changing the world.
