The Smile

by EmBeth - Libra

She smiled when she saw me
not with warmth     or friendliness
but pity   and contempt
as if she felt sory for me because
i'm not her
could never be like her
the smile said
you will always be behind me on the ladder of success
and i will kick the dirt in your face
but underneath that smile
she knows as well as me
that i am ahead
have always been
and the reason she dislikes me so
is that i refuse to stoop to her level
because i am too preoccupied
reaching for the stars
and so
knowing all this
i smile back

Reason for writing:

    This is for all the snobby brats who ever snubbed me.  Just wait till I get famous...
