Analysis of Popular?



Popular
What does that mean to you?
Does it mean one friend that is true?
Or many "friends" who will laugh and stare,
at the style of your hair,
or the clothes that you wear?
Listen to your heart and you will know,
that one true friend is the actual meaning.
You may not see it now,
Because you are surrounded by "friends".
One day you'll see the same way I see,
these "friends" are only people to me.
I do not know them,
I just see, how they are,
and the way they treat me.
Think about it more,
Do you even want to go there?
Would you rather have one true friend?
Or a bunch that didn't care?
