The girl was thin and gawky

Not a beauty by any means

but that didn't keep her

from having fantasy dreams

The prom was going to be that night

And everyone would be there

A boy had asked her to go

He had done it on a dare

She was happy when she dressed to go

in the gown she had so carefully made

She waited at the stairs for him

Not knowing the game he'd played

The teasing knowing looks,

As she stood there alone that day

The taunting with fingers pointed

Eyes tearing, she turned and walked away

thanks for sharing. A young lady I went to school with went to the Senior Prom alone, looked really pretty in her fancy dress. I went to, in blue jeans and tee shirt. (not kidding) I was poor, didn't have the money to go or take anyone. I sat up the sound equipment for the dance, had to be there to take it down and lock it up after the dance. Don't know how to dance anyway.
