Thoughts are mistaken for many plots.
When you think, others think not.
Ideas are tarnished as you soliloquize.
Eccentric as you know it, you realize;
Cynical but sweet gestures relax your mind
and interpreting language that does not rhyme.

Uncanny is the technique you depict your thoughts.

You’re lovely; however, your intelligence is your fault.

Oh, good choice of words. My favorite lines is this one: 'When you think, others think not' It says a lot. I love how you are able to express intelligence as a fault and not a good traid (because, really, it can be a bad trait of not used well). Now, sincerly, you are a great writer. And I love the tittle.

Bye!

I'm breathless. This poem is like a mirror for me, showing my own faults. It uses phenomenal vocabulary; I'm just absolutely blown away.
