Rejected

We both know
You're better than me.
What I'm trying to understand
is how I ever thought I had a chance.

You're beautiful
A thousand times more than I.
Why was I so foolish?
Why did I ever think?

Connections through friends
But you're still the king
and I'm just a peasant.
I wish you could see
That I see past that
superficial cover you put up
to protect yourself.

You said I was beautiful.
And we both know I think mutually.
But in this foolish, idiotic, stupid place we call the 8th grade
You're so far above me.

Why can't you just see that I'm more
than that silly little lovestruck girl?
There's more to me
In case you didn't know.
I wish you would give me a chance
Just one chance
To prove the world wrong
and rebel against the ranks we call popularity.
One chance is all I'm asking for.
