They continued to shout at her, But she was not crushed, Not a single tear left her eye, Not a single word came from her mouth But deep down the words of disgust Had started having their effect on her Now, I wouldn’t say she’s perfect But at the same time, I would call her unique For she was sweet and smart just like the rest of us Her hands wrote the neatest calligraphy And her inner star was ready to come out, But those words of hatred had told her You’re not us, you’re not worth it I thought this happened once in a while, But boy I was wrong. Now every time they saw her they would laugh at her Call her the evil names Tell her she had no friends But all I wanted was to befriend her Hours passed into days and days into months They continued to mock her So what if she wasn’t good at studies She’s a rock star And if continue with your atrocious behaviour Let me tell you something, It just proves something she has which you don’t And if you think she’s not even the slightest bit near perfect Well, neither are you, And my dear friend who aspired me Just remember, be less sugar and more spice only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.

Well, Neither Are You
They continued to shout at her, But she was not crushed, Not a single tear left her eye, Not a single word came from her mouth But deep down the words of disgust Had started having their effect on her Now, I wouldn’t say she’s perfect But at the same time, I would call her unique For she was sweet and smart just like the rest of us Her hands wrote the neatest calligraphy And her inner star was ready to come out, But those words of hatred had told her You’re not us, you’re not worth it I thought this happened once in a while, But boy I was wrong. Now every time they saw her they would laugh at her Call her the evil names Tell her she had no friends But all I wanted was to befriend her Hours passed into days and days into months They continued to mock her So what if she wasn’t good at studies She’s a rock star And if continue with your atrocious behaviour Let me tell you something, It just proves something she has which you don’t And if you think she’s not even the slightest bit near perfect Well, neither are you, And my dear friend who aspired me Just remember, be less sugar and more spice only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
