I used to know
what was wrong and right
i was strong and right
and i'd seen the light.
Confidence is a wonderful thing
but is it just naive
to believe
you'll achieve
where lots fail?
Are you really so much smarter,
so much more tuned in?
Is everyone really so dumb?
even your mum?
Questions? Answers? Anyone?

I think you captured a side of the teenage reasoning

I agree with Highhat! I like the line: Is everyone really so dumb? even your mum?

Thanks! me too. In a rewrite that is the last line actually and current last line is scrapped, i think maybe better.
