There's something about the way he walks...
How it's not cocky, but confident
How it's slow, but determined
How everyone makes way for him
How she notices the slight spring in each step.

There's something about the way he speaks...
Whether he's talking back to the teacher
Whether he's arguing with his hands waving around wildly
Whether he's whispering and his deep voice softens
Whether he's chatting with his friends or greeting her.

There's something about the way he laughs...
The way it resonates through the room
The way it makes the people around him laugh
The way his eyes sparkle and dance
The way it makes the girl in the corner smile the tiniest of smiles.

But...

There's something about the way he walks...
How his shoulders are slumped
How he drags his feet like it hurts to move them
How when he meets the hallway he straightens up
How she wonders if she's the only one who notices the limp in his step.

There's something about the way he speaks...
Whether he's defiantly rebelling against the teacher
Whether he's arguing and flinches when the other person raises their hands
Whether he's whispering and his voice is scratchy as if he was crying
Whether he's talking half-heartedly with his friends or softly says 'Hey' to her.

There's something about the way he laughs...
The way it's loud and fake-sounding
The way he makes people laugh at him
The way his eyes shine with pain and hurt
The way it makes the girl in the corner of the room smile a sad watery smile.

Hey guys! I'm back! Happy 2014!
Anyway, the poem is something that popped into my head while listening to Save You by Simple Plan. Awesome song, go listen to it. My poem's about a 'popular' boy and a girl who sees the things about him the others don't see. It's about child abuse, he's being abused by someone close to him. Remember peoples, if you know someone who gets abused or bullied, help them!
Hope you liked it, review and tell me whatcha think.
