Too Cool for School
They think they are too cool for school.
In their minds, they are the ones who rule.
But sadly enough, society has changed.
Maybe one day their thoughts will be rearranged.
Let’s go back to when the true “cool” was innocence and modesty,
But, no, that can’t be with all the pressures of society.
Let’s go back to the way things were,
When all the people didn’t judge her,
For who she is, or what she may not be,
Or even for the outer beauty she didn’t receive.
Inner beauty, that is what she has,
But because of how she looks, they won’t give her a second pass.
And why is everyone so full of hate?
Certainly back then it would have been of distaste.
Hopefully soon they’ll realize, that their flamboyance,
Is to us, just an annoyance.
The things that matter to them now,
Will later change somehow.
So here’s to the kids who aren’t too cool for school.
When we get older, we’ll be the ones who rule.
