I’m socially tolerable

Not rich enough
Not attractive enough
Not sporty enough
To be popular
But smart enough
And funny enough
And different enough
To be interesting

You can talk to me in class
You can say Hi to me in the hall
You can text me for homework answers
But you won’t eat lunch with me
You won’t walk with me
You aren’t my friend,
Really

But I pretend that you are
Just so that I can have one.
