Leader

Swaying though these corridors,

Wearing my new Britney Spears perfume,

Everybody makes way for me,

And my three gorgeous girls.

Everybody stares on,

I can see the envy

Burning in their eyes.

They so desperately want to be 

A part of the most popular group,

But they do not know what it's like

Behind the scenes.

They so desperately want to be me,

I've heard the rumours enough.

The beauty and popularity,

They don't care about much else.

But the story of my home life

Is one that nobody will ever know,

Nor one that anybody would expect.

Perfect grades, straight A student,

Amazingly skilled at sports,

And oh so skinny!

The dancer, the model,

The girl who was an all-rounder.

The leader, the girl in all groups,

The girl who always participates.

But I live in two completely, different worlds.

And only my three girls know about it.

They know about what happened,

They know about my situation.

They know what I have,

And they know what I'm fighting.

They know that being seen and visible,

Is the only reason I'm here.

They know that without them,

My life would be far worse.

They know that without school,

My shelter is nowhere.

They know that without the teachers,

I would not be so good,

They know that without the teachers,

I would have no adult role-model.
