Their Mistake

She was excluded by her peers
They didn't like her
No one really did
Some teachers didn't like her too
They excluded her because of her
Appearance and mannerisms

She was like a child
She played apps that looked childish
To them, she was ugly
Her hairstyle was horrendous to them
And she behaved weirdly
She looked like she wasn't aware
On how she was being treated
A smile was always present
Even if she was being yelled at
It was a little disturbing
As she continued smiling

But I'm pretty sure she is hurting
Her smile could be a mask
A mask that's she's desperate to keep
Even though she may disturb others
It doesn't give them a right to
Treat her like that
Always yelling at her

"Get away from me! SHOO!"
"I don't want to see your face!"
"You're nothing but a nuisance!"

I'm also sure she can detect lies
Even though she's wearing
A hearing aid
She can still read body language
Don't underestimate her

Even someone as "ugly" as her
Can do well in academics
It's truly a pity
That they cannot see her beauty
Unlike her friends and family
