The unbearable weight of being the only one to recognize my own genius
Or maybe I’m not

Author's Note
I like the long title with a short response working together. The idea made me laugh. Also think it’s cool there are two ways to interpret such a short poem. And finally this notes a fuckton longer than the poem itself.

I agree about the title! I have never been imaginative in that way. One nit in the spirit of honest critique:
I would remove the 'I'm' in the monostich! It's redundant and will make the line even shorter!

I feel that currently it presents two possibilities. 1.) I’m not a genius. 2.) I’m not the only one that thinks I’m a genius. My concern is that if I remove “I’m”, it would remove the first meaning (which is the more important meaning for me).
