Elphie's POV on Galinda. Set early in their friendship. Poetry.

A/N: I don't normally do poetry, but this came to me and I couldn't get it out of my head. Elphie's POV on Galinda. (Specifically with a Ga.) I suppose it's set sometime early in their friendship.

Pink, Sparkly, Bubbly Things

~ By Heatqueen ~

Pink, sparkly, bubbly things

Chaos it leaves and terror it brings

The sight of a shiny spark makes me shrink

And don't even get me started on pink

She floats around like she lives in a bubble

Her depthless mindset is nothing but trouble

And never mind if her grades start to sink

Just as long as her nails are the right shade of pink

I return to the room, and the room's full of glitter

She always leaves me to clean up her litter

And maybe to her the whole thing is a dream

But all that it does is make me want to scream

And yet, I find myself on the brink

Of an invasive thought, an idea that won't sink

Beneath this facade of absolute terror

Lives a very small margin for error

The pink, sparkly, bubbly thing

Torments my thoughts and makes my heart sing

And even though she never quite understands

Anything beyond the latest designer brands

The pink, sparkly, bubbly thing

Is doing her best to be better than bling

Somewhere inside is a beautiful mind

A thought that is real, a soul that is kind

And maybe one day she'll let me see

A treasure uncloaked by popularity

But until the day she grows her wings

I'll gripe at the sparkly, bubbly things
