the Clay of the ground
I gave you a rose, sent you a carnation,
Waited for you to step up.
And all you did was go about, day by day, ignoring me.
Making me invisible, biding your time.
Testing came along and I got a simple chat.
I was spent
Sold some burritos to you, played volleyball.
But all disappeared. Vanished when the tests ended
I went back to being invisible.
Pushed around.
Forgotten.
Left Out.
Ridiculed.
All because I found you slightly attractive.
I am the nerd.
The quiet girl, that when an opinion is stated, is scrutinized.
I made my point and you found me intimidating.
Weird. Cruel yet Kind.
Scared to talk?
Scared to be a leader and not a follower?
You repugnant fool.
I proved my point at Prom.
You chose the prettiest girl, not the one with the best smile,
The best dress, or the sweetest demeanor.
You are a PIG.
You went for looks and not the personality.
Yeah I heard that comment about me. I felt the sting.
I hope you’re happy.
I’m the one who’ll be remembered for her opinions.
Not the popularity.
