Here she comes
Striding over, completely confident
That twinkly laugh that she does so effortlessly,
The same laugh I try to do, but never succeed at
Always in a new top, or dress, or skirt, or jeans,

She listens to music that’s completely clean
With her perfect completion and long dark hair,
Whatever she says, someone always cares
I don’t dare approach her, for I’m far too embarrassing
No perfect hair, no dazzling smile, will you ever find on me
“You look nice!” She says, as I walk down the hall
Well, maybe I’m not so bad, after all.

Every school has a queen bee. And every one of those queen bee's couldn't be more perfect. But you are more human if you have imperfections, so don't worry. Just remember that you're amazing exactly the way that you are. Keep your head up.
