Who is she?
 

She is that girl with the perfect face,
permanently white smile and blessed with God's grace.
She has the perfect body with the accent of curves,
her optimism illuminates containing not one negative nerve.
She has the perfect eye and hand of an artist,
the most prominent talent and she is also the smartist.
She has all the boys at her knees,
long effortless blonde hair blowing in the breeze.
She wins all of the acting awards,
the volleyball athleticism and golden vocal chords.
She has her loving family and the money to compliment,
nothing could ever go wrong for her, I wIsh I had her confidence.
I wish I was she.

She is that b**** at lunch who thinks she is the s***,
to be honest she doesn’t even look that fit.
She is that girl with the lopsided nose,
dull teeth and unfashionable clothes.
She puts on her lighthearted show,
just for the guys, her intentions are shallow.
She isn’t as good at singing and art as she claims to be,
how many boyfriends do you think she has had, thirty?
She didn't make the volleyball team i bet,
it doesn’t even look like she has ever broken a sweat.
She is undesirably an attention wh**e,
they say she moved here from Baltimore.
I wish she would leave.
but I also wish I was she.

Who am I?
I am the new girl here at school,
not trying to interfere with the pecking order of rule.
I am the girl that the other girls look down upon,
their hating glares pierce, it is just too much to take on.
I am a generally happy person at least I want them to see,
not the lonely scared girl that is trapped inside of me.
I am the one who looks in the mirror and thinks my face isn't quite right,
the acne on my forehead, my round teeth with their overbite.
I am the one who the guys just want for fun,
they are nice to me but I'm not going to “get with anyone”.
I am the person where at home they don't know,
my little brother is bullied now and I live In my sister's shadow.
I am the singer, the dancer the artist,
taking advantage of it cause I was never the smartest.
I am the girl that back home I was no one,
now my voice and art is shown, my light has just begun.
I am definitely not perfect, far from it I see,
but I am not the b**** you claim me to be.
I am she.


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece one night when everything seemed to go wrong for me and i splattered all my feelings through the key board. I moved abruptly from one state to another during my Junior year of high school. People were generally very nice to me and commented things like, " what can't you do" or " you could have any guy you wanted". Eventually the most popular group of girls seemed to find any excuse to hold a grudge against me. So i decided to give a friends, enemy and my own perspective on myself. Hopefully this can get across to people as the grass isnt greener on the other side. Someone will always hold something against you whether they envy you or whatever their excuse is. Don't give them the time of day or allow them to think they have any chance of lowering you self-esteem.
