From 9235 days a week
you walk bravely from room
Into silent filled room -
which saddens me so
At best you remain unnoticed unheard.
At worst uninvited unincluded by
your peers
Daily they heap upon you their
mirth, scorn and jeers
For long ago you become an outlet:
For the venom. And their fears.
I see you fight back hard
sometimes hour by the hour
Giving back as good as you get -
But like fuel to the fire I
watch it bring you no good:
5,6,7 or is it 10, 12 against you?
These house of card furies
That swarm
On and on they
continue to come
And so I ask myself:
Is it the lanky tall? or the Clearasiled pimples?
But no.
You are the same race as them all
And Button-bright?
Indeed quite a bit.
The dreaded group /pair work activity arrives
With no one to work with,
I shall be your partner in Rhyme
Filling out worksheets we chat a bit and
online I learn that you are quite a hit
Building a 150K following strong
You success makes me rejoice cheering
you on -
And offline Sweetie Pie Child?
I am your plus one!
Whenever they say
no one likes you / you have no friends,
I will happily correct letting them know
it's not true.
Always remember and do stay strong
For on this beautiful
green blue planet
there is space
And You Do Belong!
(For AL)
