Plain Janes

Hey people. I want you to write me a poem about plain people you know. People who just blend into a crowd, the one that's always over looked. But I want you to tell me about their one attribute that is appealing. The one thing about them that stands out and gets them noticed. It can be a physical attribute or a personality trait. Whatever floats your boat. If you have any questions or suggestions, just ask. Have fun!

Rules:
1. NoNe Of ThIs!!!
2. No erotica, no need for it.
3. Nothing "emo" or any suicidal stuff.
4. Be nice to other people in this contest.
( And in general)
5. No more than 100 lines please.
6. Any style is fine but I prefer free verse.
( If you rhyme do it tastefully)
7. Put " Plain Janes" in your author box.

"Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise."
-Maya Angelou

Who's this girl no one knows?
Why does she laugh at the most silly things you've ever heard?

She isn't the kind for all to see,
A face in the crowd like a leaf on a tree,
