All planets revolve around the Sun.
Sometimes we mistaken ourselves to be the Sun.
Sometimes we believe we are the planets,
following the Sun, making it the center.
The Sun is the queen bee,
when she is angered,
she gives off flares to burn us.
Mercury is the hot tempered boy
who stays near the queen,
burning through all the flares hitting him.
Venus is the queen's second in command,
not nearly as hot but enough to be by her side.
Earth is the average girl,
not always losing her temper,
but not home to icy cold stares.
Mars is the average boy,
only different from Earth.
He hides more anger than ice.
Jupiter is the one they call "The Fat Kid."
He is separated from the social circle
by the ones they call normal looking.
Saturn is the studious girl.
Her glasses rings classify her as a nerd,
often taken to be the smartest.
Uranus is the boy who made a mistake.
He broke up with the queen and
was pushed away, nearly an outcast.
Neptune is the girl with tears.
She was pushed away because
emotional ties caused her to cry.
Then there is Pluto,
not a planet but a dwarf planet.
Pluto is the group of kids called the outcasts.
They are nearly forgotten,
only remembered by few.
The outcasts feel invisible,
a piece of nothing.
The queen may not admit but
at one point in life,
all of us, even the queen,
felt as if they were a part of Pluto.
But maybe we are all Pluto
and we just don't know it.
