Middle School
Wicked grin across the room,
 From a girl with more lipstick than you
 And with a cuter boyfriend
 And you know she’ll knock your world askew
 Her fangs are just hidden
 Below that air of perfection
 That she wears wrapped around her
 Like a bad holier-than-thou spell
 That you can see through.
 
 Plucked eyebrows and a foretelling of ghosts
 Peer pressure ruling and making the most
 Of that bad situation
 You got into last Monday
 Pretend, little girl,
 That it didn’t really happen. 
 Cuz you knew it was the truth 
 When they warned you of devils
 But did you keep close?
 Of course not, why would you.
 And now it’s all crumbling,
 And the demons are grumbling
 They’re hungering for your soul
 Off in dark corners of hell. 
 
 Slammed you finger in your locker
 While dragging out the textbooks
 You haul around strapped to your back
 On weekends and after school,
 When you should be doing homework 
 And are instead worried about being cool. 
 When seven classes are just to much
 You slip off for your afternoon cigarette,
 Into a bathroom where two children make out 
 In the stall next to you.
