The lights
The excitement
Cheering the team on
Pom poms shake as
Twenty cheerleaders smile
I am one of them

The stands
The fans
Yelling encouragement
Shouting for a touchdown
Hoping to make it to the endfeild
I am one of them

The statements
The shouts
How we are not loud
How we can not dance
How the cheer team sucks
I am one of them

My thoat
My back
They hurt from the
Tumbling and shouting
I try my hardest
I am one of them

No good
Just sluts
Made to cheer
For a team and school
That doesn’t even want us
I am one of them

Twenty cheerleaders
Go home
The words etched into
Our once happy minds
Now replaced with embarrassment
I am one of them

Next week
Another game
And hopefully
A nicer crowd
That won’t bully our trying to cheer
I am one of them
