The Girl Everybody Loves To Hate

She walks down the aisle swiftly, 
Shutting the silent whispers from around.
Her long mane covers most of her 
small fair face;
and the teardrops, casting down. 

She sits at the far end of the hall -
Envying others through her dark raven cloak. 
Wistfully longing to be one among them; 
At least one mate she could call 
her own.   

She dries her deep set eyes 
secretly, pretending to be lost 
in work.
All the while listening to the cheery jovial echoes
in vicious disgust. 

She sees a guy at a distance - the same
she refused a date;
Along with a pretty girl, who could have been 
her BFF, if not 
for her foolish stuck-up traits. 

I’m different,” she claims, 
rather unapologetically, 
making the others quietly smirk. 
The lonely fair dame, unknowingly 
Had become the bait for all jokes.
