Why?
why do you destroy me,
when I'm so happy?
Why do you insist I stay here,
even if you see my tears?
When you know, why do you break me,
all apart for the world to see?
Why don't you understand...
The meaner ones Chant...
"She hasn't a date!"
So I hid my face?
I wanted to go with him,
why do you think I will sin?
All I wanted....
was to dance....
With my friend,
I never slow-danced,
I won't lie,
So why, why did you?
So Why...
Did you lie?

The author's comments:
My friend is a guy and he was coming with me to a dance then they announced on the announcements that only these 2 certain grades can go and the youngest couldn't. THEY KNEW I was going with a young middle schooler! But they ripped my heart out anyway....
