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
