she follows everywhere she goes
wishing she wasn't one of those
but she isn't the one leading
she is always following
people aren't drawn to her
she feels plain and boring
she wishes she were brighter
happier
and prettier
but she doesn't see what her friends see
or the strangers walking by that take a second glance
they want to look longer at her soul
she believes her grey eyes look lifeless
and others think she's timeless
she's unique and aesthetic
she's beautiful and poetic
she's following
a good cause
