School Pride

Front of the class

where the un-popular gather

Crowding around to talk

about eachothers homework

Ya we are what the cool kids call the nerds



Outside in the hall, waiting for the routine beating

Waiting for your favourite teacher to bring some peace

To break up the fight, that made the other person believe

that they were allowed to belittle the weak



School was the one world you were an outcast

School was the boxing ring of hate

I wish it could have been another way

But I guess they saw my saviour as fools gold

not a place to run away to so I could feel safe



Making crude remarks of what was real in my life

They never saw how happy he had made me feel

I never really cared, cuz they didn't see what was real

I guess they were in total awe of the world

that they were just too blind to see

the pride they were not ashamed to bring
