Popularity Is Nothing
She was the most popular girl
To many boys, she was the world
With her lush chocolate hair
And the sparkling blue stare
But she was not very happy
Still others were being treated unfairly
A struggling girl with big brown eyes
Neglected and sadly despised
A dark-haired, lonely boy
Seemingly drained of all joy
Was always picked on
And he felt like no one
And then some girls were circling
A smaller girl, who was trembling
Laughing and staring
Not even caring
But the popular girl had had enough
What these kids were going through was tough
So one day she came to school
The exact opposite of cool
She didn’t brush her hair
For the first time, she didn’t care
Wearing ratty, smelly clothes
And beige sandals showing her toes
Everyone was so surprised
That she helped the others rise
The brown eyed girl, the lonely boy
And the small girl, all restored of joy
And all because one girl noticed it
And did something about it
Instead of just standing to the side
And being nothing more than an alibi
