Immigrant
Foreign to this place
But they do know
You look different
Too delicate and dainty
You speak different
They catch the southern twang
You behave different
Too much decorum and grace
You are smarter
Only nerds would take those classes otherwise
They refuse to look past that
Because she just cannot fit in
No one ever sees past her difference
But she wishes the just would
If only they could
