Well, Neither Are You Poem by Mantrana Mahi Agarwal

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 thesame 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 awhile,

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, neitherare 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.
