New kid

New kid. 
Everyone's whispering behind her back.
She's weird.
I don't like her.
Why's she here?
Why isn't anyone giving her a chance?
Shouldn't we all be a little kinder?
Everyone's ignoring her
when she says hello.
Everyone's whispering,
Everyone's ignoring,
Except one.
The one who dared to stand out, 
To back away from the crowd,
The one who dared to be nicer,
To be empathetic.
Why can't we all be like that one, 
Who gave the new kid a chance?
