A Book Full Of Fables

May I change just to fit in

Why would I want that terrible burden?

Can I be like all of the rest

Flunk out and fail tests?

Can I be a pretty face

When there is no inner beauty underneath?

Can I laugh at others pains

When no one listens to their screams?

Can I sit at the cool table

As we lie and gossip enough to create a book full of fables?

May I just be invited into the in-crowd

Maybe that way things would change starting now.

I would not want to be any of the rest

I will graduate and get to the next step.

I may not have a pretty boy face

But I have a heart unlike you underneath.

I do not laugh at others pain

I have been there and have felt the feelings it brings.

I sit alone at a table

I will be the one to burn the book of fables.

I am someone who stands out of the crowd

Something has to change with you jerks starting now.

Stop being suck a bully

Be a friend that you would need.
