The golden children will
We were meant to be
The golden children
Beating the odds
Since we came outta the womb
Two months apart
In my mind..in my eyes at least.
Remember the snickers and the long stares?
You even barked at me in study hall
(more than once)
Don’t you remember?
You know who you are
Flicked spit on my glasses
As I bared my brace covered teeth and snarled
You’d be cool I guess
But you dress like a bum
(I’ve never told anyone that before)
Shame me more
But we’ll be the golden children
Dare me. Dare us.
Just wait
You’ll see
I know you want to impress, I know
With your charm and your wit
There’s a show to put on
But in the end no one cares
No one.
But the band nerds…oh!!
Yes. Us..
The dep and me..
Transition lenses and all
Teacher!!! But teacher!!!
The jury of peers says
Nope!
But we’ll rise
The golden children will
