no better
Ashley:
 “Her eyes tell us everything
 About her haunted past and those taunting regrets
 Her frown tells us everything
 About the pain she’s seen, known, experienced
 Her stance tells us everything
 The way her eyes scroll the floor
 The way her chin bends to her chest
 About the confidence and the hope she’s lost
 
 We couldn’t let her in
 Our eyes gleamed with dignity
 Our smiles shone in ads
 We stood tall and proud
 
 Walking through the halls we cause a wave of whispers
 We catch glances of envy and lust
 No one dares step up to our path
 No one dare challenges our height on this ladder
 Queens of High School they call us, and we agree”
 
 Dylan:
 “They peak in high school
 And continuously spiral downwards as their life moves on
 They become the cashiers, the strippers, the taxi drivers
 The worst
 
 We can’t get any lower than the bottom
 We can only get higher and stronger
 We become the astronauts, the scientists, the authors
 The best”??No better than each other, only in their minds
