I have proven myself
I have tried
so hard
to impress you.
But I've been shunned-
written off
in your stuck up minds
Because of my brains
My intuition and intelligence
Are too much for you.
Each time you scoff
each time you laugh
each time you call me
One of your stupid names..
The names! They chase me!
They hunt me and kill me
In my ill gotten rest.
Loser.
Unimportant.
Freak.
Bitch.
Nerd.
Whore.
Ugly.
Moron.
Uncool.
None of these are true.
But each time they are said
it is another shove
another push
to the dagger that was
carefully placed on my heart
when I fell In love with you.
I am not a loser.
I am not a freak.
I am a genius.
And you are jealous.
I am uncool and suffer
for my brain.
Invisibility.

it does make sense. If this is personal, then my advice is to just think "screw you" when anyone says anything to you. I am uncool, annoying, geeky etc because i like maths and history and music, but what the hell. Just remember, that you'll be the one who has all the money because of your brains when they won't have anything.
Ok, on that note, your poem was really well written and i enjoyed it very much.
Keep writing,

It most definitely makes sense. And it's very good and true as well. *sigh* This is exactly why I hate society and its stupid stereotypes. However, one little thing I caught was when you said "My intuition and intelligence/Is too much for you", I thought it might sound a little better if you changed it to "'are". It seems like it would flow better. Just a suggestion, though. Overall, I really liked it. Nice job!
