What’s it like,
To not be pretty?
What’s it like,
To have no friends?
What’s it like to be unpopular?

Those are the thoughts we wish those girls could have,
Instead they talk among themselves,
and act like they are ones above us.
They gossip and play with their hair,
Sitting on their own pedestal and chair.
Flirting with boys just like themselves.
They take advantage of their beauty,
And do their stereotypical duty.

So why do we wish to be like them?
Appearing like brats,
But that’s not all.
They bully us.
They “murder” us.
But, no one seems to care.
Sometimes it’s just too hard to bear.

This poem made me think about all of the girls who are getting bullied by other "popular girls".
