Pretty Little Thing

Pretty Little Thing

A Poem by Pamcocoa
"

A slightly childish poem about petty envy

"
She's a pretty little thing
Wavy hair, great big smile.
She has a way about her
that makes the boys stare for a while.
Forever flirting to get what she wants,
I'm mind boggled at the confidence she flaunts.
 So, I sit from afar cautiously admiring whilst licking my wounds
from the painful shots she's been firing. 
Envious and disdainful as I may be
A part of me wants to be like her
but I'm not like her at all.
I've got straight hair, a moderate smile;
But I lack the charm and I don't stand as tall.
I'm not overtly confident, or flirtatious
I don't flaunt what I have and I'm much less tenacious.
Thus, forever in the background I stay,
with my clothes all out of style.
Forever overshadowed by pretty little things
with the great big smiles.

Acute observation about life seen through just about every wall-flower who's ever lived. The irony of this is that it's usually the wall-flowers who truly shine later in life. It's hard to convince them of this when they're a certain age, but that early physical beauty and charm usually does not carry the pretty little things too far into adulthood. The wall-flowers tend to develop more than their physical façade and brains and talents carry them into becoming writers, artists, thinkers and innovators.
