Rumors
So Winter Break I was fine,
Smiling, smiling- all the time.
Even some repeated laughter!
I was happy- ever after!
But then! BAM! School Started,
I was sad and broken hearted.
I frowned and then, whoa!
More rumors so....
Walking through the hall some more
At least now I’m a senior
But all I ever do is be afraid
Of what strangers have to say
About me. Why do I care?
I don’t know? I just feel it isn’t fair
To make us go day to day
Worried of what rumors say.
Who cares who broke their relationship?
It wasn’t right! Just a trip
To try to make their friendship right.
Who cares who’s cheating day and night?
Or saying who’s parents got divorced
Or even about a deep remorse
But who cares about a lie that’s spread
Around the school that someone said?
Who cares? Who cares?
Just because it isn’t fair.
It isn’t cool, it isn’t cool.
Rumors... Rumors... Oh so cruel.
