Real
She wears the metallic coloured dress
Her badge of courage
Armour to face the elite
Those who appear polished
With ease and flair
She enters the party room
To loud
whispers
And catty remarks
Of that's last season's dress
Downright glares from some women
She pushes back her shoulders
She knows despite the remarks
She looks good
She smiles and waves
The women
look surprised
The most eligible bachelor
In the room approaches her
He likes her moxy
He smiles and speaks to her
Then gets down on one knee
She nods yes
Some of the same women
Frown calling her an upstart
Others walk over to her
And are friendly
She's now considered one of them
She turns the other cheek
Being nice to the bullies
Never forgetting their ill will
Always protecting herself
From the turn of the tide
But winning them all
With her considerate and benevolent gestures
Becoming the matron of society
She welcomes the new blood
The optimal changes
To make them human
When she dies
Society remembers and celebrate
Her uniqueness, but most of all
Her kindness,
That made them feel
Real
