Popularity
A feeling most desire
That feeling of fame
Like when you walk into a room
And everyone knows your name.
But what if you want popularity,
And that popularity doesn't want you?
What if you're not accepted?
Or you can't fit in?
How would you feel?
Lost like a child in the forest.
Maybe you feel free,
Free to be yourself,
Free to make your own choices.
So maybe you're not popular at the end of the day,
Like that jock in the letterman jacket who walks down the hallway.
But it doesn't matter because you're a star
And remember,
There's no better you
Than the you that you are.

When I was in elementary school, I tried so hard to be popular. I just wanted to be known, but ultimately, I didn't fit in. I wasn't accepted. I wasn't myself, and for a long time, I had a hard time fitting in. I had problems finding myself. Eventually, I learned to appreciate my true friends and, most importantly, appreciate me for who I am. I hope people who read this know that it's alright to be yourself. Embrace it. You are the best person you can be. Don't change for the sake of fitting in or being popular.
