Assumptions
You see me on Friday nights
Under all those shiny, bright lights
Yelling for the win.
You'd think I'm the prettiest
That everyone loves to be around me
That I have a lot of friends or the hottest boyfriend on the team
You'd think that I'm outgoing
That I talk a lot in class
That I love to be the center of attention
You'd think that I'm stupid or 'stoopid'
That I fail all my tests
That I'm not capable of having a brain since I'm on the Varsity cheer team
Because "They don't have brains, right?"
But you'd be wrong
Yeah, I'm not ugly and you see me shine in my uniform
But I don't have the best self esteem when
Seemingless 'flawless' girls around here have more guys gauking at them and people wanting to be around them
Yeah, I have a louder side that you see accompying those poms poms
But I'm not the first to raise my hand in class; I'm a little more shy
And it takes a while to truly see how loud my personality can be
Yeah, I'm not the smartest; but hey, I can spell out 'Diamondbacks' correctly
I try hard on my school work
I study for my tests
Point of all this is
There is more than one side to me
Yes, I like cheering,, a lot
But don't shrink me down to the sterotypes of a cheerleader
Because if you get to know me, you'll find that I don't fit into most of them
Assumptions aren't always so correct
