When pretty little mean girls
grab your favorite green exercise ball
and shun you there at recess
in your worn, glitter shoes
with the backs undone
and ankles spilling out
in unmatched socks
your little mind struggling
trying to find a reason
to see who they are
trying to forget what you are
wondering how they
got so lucky
in their perfect little
Children's Place outfits
with their little pug noses
looking at each other
right in the eye
as they deny
your little place in the world
they don't want the ball
but they want everyone to
accept their places
bow to acknowledge
little pretty girl faces
