Cheerleader

She walks the halls Miss Popular Looking at me as beneath her Long auburn hair, piercing green eyes Little did I Know that it was all a disguise Oh Cheerleader Teacher's pet, adored everywhere Why do you spit on my worth? Oh Cheerleader Brushing through life without a care Do you enjoy causing hurt? All night in bed I tossed and turned Wishing I could have Said something to embarrass her I replayed the scene time after time Her upturned face those searing eyes I couldn't grasp the reason why To her I was always kind Little did I Know of all that pain inside Oh Cheerleader Teacher's pet, adored everywhere Why do you spit on my worth? Oh Cheerleader Brushing through life without a care Do you enjoy causing hurt? Night after night day after day I pick apart her social media page But one afternoon I scroll and see A video of her routine Before she doses off to sleep She says I take these pills to wake up happy Oh Cheerleader I thought you had it all together I didn't know your days were filled with gloom Oh Cheerleader You're as fragile as a feather I didn't know what you were going through You wanted me to hurt like you did Disrespecting me on a regular basis And it worked for a moment But I escaped your Emotional homeostasis And now I'm going places Oh Cheerleader I thought you had it all together I didn't know your days were filled with gloom Oh Cheerleader You're as fragile as a feather I didn't know what you were going through Oh Cheerleader Hurting others ain't the answer Their newfound pain won't quell your misery Oh Cheerleader I hope that you're doing better I've healed from the pain you've caused me I hope one day you'll be free And I hope that you find peace
