Random poetry for a so-so day

Whispers in the woods

She walked through a forest of foreign trees

New people towered above her

She felt their eyes burning through her back

Judging everything

She heard someone whisper quietly

A laugh, a giggle, what was so funny?

Was there something in her teeth?

Something she couldn't see?

She almost felt too conscious to breathe

She wished she could hide in her sleeves

She wanted to confront them

But that would make a scene

And she wasn't exactly big news

Just the average teen

Not the gossip on the magazines

But she still had seeds of worry

Growing into trees

She turned around

What if they were looking at me?

But they weren't looking at me at all

Because to them, I didn't matter at all

Just the new one at school

The egotistical fool

Why does insignificance hurt more?

I guess insecurity is the core

Everyone's biggest flaw
