I tried to avoid their
Eyes
But the whole group
Stared
I ducked my head
Low
And hurried past

They scowled at me
Haters
Because I had spoken
Out
For this little Emo girl
Innocent
Just different and picked on

I’m getting the cold shoulder
Now
No one has talked to me
All week
And I don’t need these
Friends
I’d rather find nicer people

“Kate, over here!” Calls out
Again
A girl waves from her car
Smiling
My new dark haired friend
Emo
Who is much nicer to me
