shed thoughts

favoritism

they say they're tired
of helping people for now
she nods at them,
wondering what she'll do or how
then the popular one asks for help
didn't even finish the sentence yet
right away, in chorus, yes—
they happily say.
and doesn't it hurt
a bit
or maybe more
that they've rejected you
instead of helping too?
then she thought that
who is she
for people to help her anyway
who is she for them to spare time with
who is she to ask them a favor
she's just someone
no one
and nothing more.
