She
Is the apple of a selfish man's eye
The one every girl despised,
An excuse for the jealous stirring
They felt in their bones
Every time she strode
Head high
Chin up
She
Carried a backpack of never ending jokes
Wherever she stopped by
And the only giggles she could
Involuntarily
Push
Out of the mouths of her helpless followers,
Were the genuine types,
The laughter
After
Depression and tension
She
Bloomed in ball gowns
And party dresses
She could keep her heels well shined
While still
Strutting
On the dance floor
Nothing but glitter
And glam
And a girl with passion and desire
But
This is how the world saw her
Watching from a car window
Nothing but her appearance and facade
Her, at the least of what she was
Behind the curtain of
Pretty
Her hair and humor blessed her with,
Was a landscape of
Beauty,
Her for what she is
And if you tried hard enough
You would see that
She captures the heart more than any set of eyes.
She could make you laugh hard enough
To make the lemonade pour out of your nose.
She could sing up your spirits with a melody that goes "you are beautiful".
She could rock the formal attire society required,
But she looked far more joyous in sweatpants and rock concert t-shirts.
She is jolly more than giggles
She is grace more than glitter
She is beauty more than pretty
My, if you met her,
You'd called it blessed rather than lucky
