Array ( [sid] => 7080 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Full Marks [time] => 2002-11-20 11:40:00 [hometext] => This just sums up how frustrating it is when people think you're thick. Especially when you prove them wrong by doing well and they assume there's been a mistake. [bodytext] => Even my sweetest friends agree
that it was odd, I should succeed
and for my exams, get full marks.
It must be me who’s in the dark.

So, why should I perform so well?
After all, I’m just a girl
and one who’s blonde and silly, too.
There’s been a mix up at the school.

Can’t I see they’re ripping me off?
“All students get full marks”, they scoff
“and all they’re after is you cash,
that’s what we see, so think on that."

I sat reflecting for some time
and I say this achievement’s mine!
Only I know how much I put in,
the hours of thought, the studying.

I see that even my true love
doesn’t think I’m good enough
and in the quest I’m on my own.
Maybe it will lead be home.
