The girl behind the glass
Is what everyone dreams to be
She is everywhere
But not seen as a person
Not at all as a person
She is seen as a prototype
A kind of person
Acceptable
But not having a personality
Never a personality
When she tries to compute her ideas
She gets shut down
Wanted for her looks
Not her wit
She is truly just a number
Just a girl behind the glass

This is just what I observe everyday at my school. Not everything like being popular is what it seems, sometimes it is better not to be.
