A girl in my class

Edith van Os

There is this girl in my class
You can ask anyone and they’ll say
That when she opens her mouth
No one cares what comes out anyway
She just sits there all alone
With her eyes fixed on the wall
Why is she so undeniably weird
I cant think of anyone this flawed
You can’t blame her for being so sad
Not with all those imperfections
But when I get home from school
The same girl stares at me in the reflection
So try and find the beauty in others
When they smile or sing or speak
And maybe next time I look in the mirror
Someone as beautiful will look back at me
