The ugly side of high school,
Everyone's a damn fool.
Spreading lies behind turned backs,
Just so there's no deflecting the attacks.
The ugly side of girls and boys,
all wrapped up in stupid ploys.
Stupid rumors, stupid fights,
Everyone's hiding from the light.
The ugly side of painted walls,
Covered in the childish scrawls.
Sharpie words cut through and through,
But does a single word ever ring true?
The ugly side of whispered lies,
With every word a part of me dies.
But just remember, keep your smile!
It makes it seem worth all the while.
the pretty side of brand-new friends,
New people to be there to the end.
they have your back, trust me,
After a while, you'll truly see.
The pretty side of whispered talks,
Away with a smile, you will walk.
Chins up, smiles on, a wise woman says,
This isn't just a passing craze.
Even with the ugly side of school,
You can find people who are cool
Friends to be there for you,
And even teachers too.
The ugly side of high school only lasts,
As long as you grip tight to the past.
Just let go and be free, be you.
If they don't like it, then boo-hoo.
