Looking across from my seat
A girl with glorious eyes,  
Fulfilled with tears, 
I asked her what’s wrong, 
just to hear the answer I’m fine. 

During lunch the astonishing smell of 
Pizza pockets satisfied my nose 
to my notion I’d think 
She’d feel the same 
But looking across from my seat 
 I see she pushed her plate away 
And refused to eat 
I asked her what’s wrong 
And she replied with I’m fine

Next day I walk in, and look across from my seat 
To see she looked drowsy and upset,  
I repeatedly asked her what’s wrong ,
And she replied with I’m fine. 
I knew she wasn’t fine 
So I asked the teacher to give her some slack 
Because she is going through a bit of a phase

This day I felt okay, thinking she was going to be fine
But looks like that wasn’t enough 
Tears ran down her face 
And all I could do was wipe them and ask 
What’s wrong? 
She replied with I’m fine

The following day 
My teacher pulled me aside 
To tell me she was being bullied, 
Not only that but had a lot of personal stuff at home
I asked, what can I do 
To my surprise i got no response. 
I knew what I had to do to make her comfortable

A week passed and I was finally ready to start my magic 
Walking into the room, poured heavenly showers of happiness 
Seeing a wealthy garden of all types of plants 
Within my eyes, 
I could taste the sweetness of happiness 
And smell the lovely fragrance of gaiety 

I walked up to her,
And told her people cause pain 
But pain is only in the brain 
It’s not real, and doesn’t have to be
And I can help you through this, 
“We can” *teacher and I say in unison* 
This is a safe place and we can all help 
Restart, flip the page, start a new chapter where you can embrace,
Love, life, and happiness
At that moment I could see a smile appear on her face 
But I blinked and all I knew was she hugged me 
And said, I’m fine, let’s talk, 
My name is Leslie and this is my new chapter

   An unmotivated or unnoticed student can feel many things. You always have to make sure they are okay, saying the smallest thing can change someone’s life in many ways. The smallest action can let someone light shine. Not only can you motivate them but you can become a hero.
