Brains Versus Beauty

**poem originally posted on Jadestone Pound and can be found on http://allpoetry.com/poem/2112929**

I'm just a punch line, To your ugly fat girl jokes. You point and laugh when I walk by. I just point and laugh back at you. Your shallow foolishness, Makes you look so funny. I have something you'll never have. Are you jealous? I bet you are. That's why you need, To ridicule me, Whenever I enter your field of vision. You may have the socially accepted looks honey, But I have the brain. While you're lying on your back, Trying to get ahead, I've already passed you by.
