Humans. We all take up space, but how many of us actually matter?

Some of us, don't even feel special, as though we don't belong. 

If we were all meant to be born the same, why are we treated differently?

Some of us are poor, and some of us are rich, should popularity truly be based on this? 

These are just some words on a paper that no one will pay mind to, because I'm nothing. 

And according to society, if we're "different" in any shape of form, you're nothing.

At one point in our lives, we're going to go through hell.

But the "nothings", have already dealt with hell because society, has put us through it.

You get a special privelege and an advantage for being popular, for being pretty, for being rich, for wearing name brand clothes!

How about the "nothings" who sit in the back of the classroom, who go so long without being

recognized, who may not be rich, but have goals and brains!

We may not have a social life the way you do, but we're humans, just like you!

And if we're nothing, you're nothing too!

What are you without your money, without your beauty, without your social life, without your name brand clothes?

Nothing.

Nothing makes us special - we're all just animals and atoms. Perspective changes everything - and that's why I like this poem. Good work.
