They're seem to be people who get by
with the things viewed high in high school.
Maybe it's the girl who got the looks of vogue,
or the boy with strength of Superman.
It even could be the siblings with cash to spend.
To often I see that are the ones
who point the plain ones, the weak ones, or the poor ones
as the poor unfortunate souls.
Even they don't see their own souls.
How they use the outer works to fill them up.
They are usually the ones who look to the dark
to sadly fill their emptiness from their soul.
They don't realize that the person with a dark heart
is the real poor unfortunate souls.

Guilty (even at your age)
Nice insight, You should write something about the heroes of your high school, the people who put others first, and volunteer their time for worthy causes, they are the ones you will remember when you are old. -
Seeing as how I am in High School I know exactly what you are talking about. I guess you could call me an outcast cause I don't hang with the popular kids (jocks cheerleaders). Most of my friends are the ones they see as unfortunate souls...but honestly, I agree with what you said, they are the unfortunate souls, and we have a lot more fun! Thanks for entering my contest and great write.
