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
