Ordinary, No Thanks

What about the boy at school
Who alway sits alone
Becaus people think he's too weird
Yeah,
He has autism.
Or the girl
Who has never been invited to a sleepover
Because of her angry outbursts
Did you know
She's physically abused?
Hav you seen John
the middle school boy
Whose never had a partner
for any school project
His dad isn't around
And his single mom works two jobs
Leaving him alone most nights.
Have you noticed Lizzy?
The girl whose shyness
Keeps her isolated.
Do even notice?
Or are we to busy
And self-absorbed?
Pardon me.
104 likes on my selfie
But do I consider the person who can't get any?
Shopping all the time
because I have to be updated on the lastest styles
But what about the people
who get left out?
Because society says
Their wardrobe isn't updated
What if they're basically homeless?
Only ten people came to my party
But I invited twenty.
No one likes me.
But do I consider the guy
Who invited the whole school
But the only person to show
was his cousin.
Now I'm not trying to make you feel guilty
for posting a selfie
or buying new clothes
But what if our focused
Shifted on to others?
Like a picture of someone
Who joy is complete
If they get five.
In class
Ask the guy
Who has never had a partner
To be yours.
You get invited to the hottest party of the year
Cool
Invite the girl
Who no one
Knows her name.
Join me in my journey
To bring the outsiders in.
