The Genius

In a world full of hate and disgraces,
Where the people think they're all aces...
A genius was born to take his rightful place.
But would he get it without being chased?

He started his life like a normal kid;
His genius mind from him hid...
A normal life, for now, is all he knew,
In ignorance he lived 'til he born anew.

Feeling there's nowhere for him to belong,
Questioning if his way is right or wrong,
He decided to test himself with a real challenge
And found in him a quite deep intellectual balance.

He liked what he found, he was feeling great;
Starting showing his friends what he could create...
They were impressed, but as people always do
They got bored of his talent and started to flew.

Soon after he found himself alone...
His friends true nature had been shown.

He pulled himself together and started learning,
He lived because the flame didn't stop burning.
Thinking there are others like him on the Earth,
He was overcome by an extraordinary mirth.

'Til today, he never thought being smart
And a genius is bad for the heart.
So one thing is certain, for him and for us...
We need not to pretend we're someone else... discuss!
