Miss Popularity

I’m the leader of the pack

The wearer of the skirt

Girl who fear me

Girls who want to be me.

I have admirers from a far,

I don’t even know who they are.

They’ll never find the courage,

To tell me that they love me,

They wish they were above me.

People say I’m a dream,

I’m the leader of the school team.

But nobody takes the time,

Don’t want to know what’s on my mind.

Is it worth being the on top?

Worth having no real friends?

I don’t want the perfect picture,

Just want you to see me for who I am.

Is there anybody out there?

Anyone willing to be my friend?

The higher you get the lonlier you get. But who would trade popularity?

Well written poem. Well done!

It took me some time to realize you liked Glee. I have to confess I don't watch much, but I've heard it's a really good show :). I am probably taking this a point of view from one of the populars? Either way, any popular can take this route and think these thoughts. Like it :)

So...Glee fan, huh? I've actually always wanted to write something from the perspective of the Queen Bee. But I realized I wasn't up for it. I figured I wouldn't be able to write it without sounding cheesy and stupid. But this, this was very good, actually. You chose a risky topic, and made it sound fine! Good job, girl! Very well written. And the rhyming is excellent!

This could be put to a beat and rapped. I LOVE it. IT's amazing :) Also, nice write, being popular isn't always the thing because you tend to have less friends you can actually trust and you threw that in there perfectly.

Last four lines are the entire piece. Spot on wrap-up. I suspect such is common to mankind.

Whether at the top or bottom of the popularity pyramid, I think the same feeling is present. When people see you as strong, they want to bring you down. When people see you as weak, they want to bring you down. No one is real with you either way. This is a fantastic point you bring up.

This a great, realistic piece. I feel as though the message is true: Popularity usually involves phonies just trying to be on top by using the most popular one. It's all a competition and people don't realize the truth. True friends are harder to find the more "above" you are. You just could never know who's with you to be with you or just for the fame.

"Girl who fear me" is a very awkward line. I'm not sure if you meant, "Girls fear me," or something of the sort. But try to fix that up.

Also, "They’ll never find the courage," doesn't need that comma. The next line is kind of finishing the first, like a complete sentence. It's unneeded and the break of the two lines helps that pause you're trying to get.

Otherwise, a brilliant poem :)

So true... Most people make friends with powerful or rich people just for the money or the power and not because they respect your real self. Friends are just the people you like over others, but best friends should respect you on who you are and not what you claim to be. I like it, it says alot and is very easy to understand :)
