They can't hide the appalled expressoions on their filthy faces as i walk by.
Some kids just don't like me,
I don't get why.
They're jealous I tell myself
But i know it's a lie
Maybe things will change
And the worse has already come.

It's very relateable to the daily lives of many teens and pre-teens. I really the shortness and how you managed to pack so much meaning into such a small space. Big things come in small packages I suppose...at any rate, very nice work!
