"Yes, hello teacher, I hope your summer's been fine.
No, I did not find the homework to be all that challenging."
I'll try to make pleasant conversation
as I sit here on my knees, uncomfortably watching
Heart Beating A Mile A Second
What Did I Do?
I Was Going In The Limit Range
Did I Cross Someone Over?
Or Uncorrectly Switched A Lane?
Get Yourself Together
Cant Let Them See You Bothered
Smile on my face

Cheerleading.
It's in my blood.
12 years of it.
12 entire years of my life.
12 years of pom poms,
dancing,
cheering on the crowd.
Just like all the others
As I tread through the halls
They take our colors and filter them through
Black and white and gray
I have fought to become the handsome man I am today,
This uniform policy just teaches "what I am is not okay".
Being able to wear fashion is more than just looking cool,
Hidden beneath
my long red socks.
Rarely seen by teammates and fans,
you are always ready to do your job.
Like the bullet-proof vest
of a proud police officer.
You take the shots
hit after hit
