Waiting Anxiously
It started before high school
 Trying to be cool
 Doing anything to be a queen 
 Even if it meant making a scene
 …whatever it took
 
 Freshman year, where it all began…
 Fitting in was the most important plan.
 School never mattered
 Girls’ confidence were shattered
 …whatever it took
 
 Sophomore year hit hard
 We always had to be on guard
 It was necessary to be thin, 
 And have perfect skin
 …whatever it took
 
 Junior year we started to grow
 We stayed away from the flow
 We became mature 
 And secure 
 …nothing ever mattered
 
 Senior year the best time of our lives
 When the acceptance letters finally arrive
 We stop caring 
 And get over all the people staring 
 …nothing ever mattered
 
 College is coming up quick
 We’re free from cliques
 And done with drama-filled girls
 We’re ready to give it a whirl
 …nothing ever mattered
 
 Why did it have to matter?
