A Pinch of Salt
_:_
Take it with a pinch of salt
Just a pinch, mind
-Bushy haired-
-Buck-toothed-
-Know it all-
{{That's what they call you}}
[[[That's how they describe you]]]
It shouldn't bother you
It shouldn't matter
Because
You are you
Wonderful+brilliant+amazing
Take it with a pinch of salt
_:_
Know-it-all
It's supposed to be demeaning?
-Is it?-
Really now- it's a compliment
[{(It's just a crude term for an intellectual)}]
And that's what you are
_:_
Bushy haired
Your hair's got character, unlike them
They're just spiteful+bitter+sour
{{{They haven't achieved what you have}}}
You're unique
_:_
Buck-toothed
Are you letting that bother you?
-Well, you shouldn't-
It's not even worth it
-You're a Muggle-born-
A dentist's daughter
[[[-Ever heard of braces-]]]
_:_
===You are you===
A witch
Wise beyond your years
They're just jealous
Because
===You are you===
_:_
Mudblood?
So what?
Pride should reign supreme
[{(neither anguish, nor arrogance)}]
You've made it here
It's rightfully yours
[{(And you deserve the magic)}]
_:_
So ignore them
Forget their envious words
Take them with a pinch of salt
Wipe your tears
_:_
Instead
Smile
