Here's to the l o n e r s
who'd give anything for someone to sit with
or a kind smile in the hallways

Here's to the n e r d s
drowning themselves in homework to escape from reality
and hating every moment of it

Here's to the w e i r d o s
wishing they could just be understood
or acknowleged as a normal human

Here's to the d r u g g i e s
smoking to have a good time without a care in the world
when in fact, they do care

Here's to the s l u t s
all they ever wanted was to be noticed
all they ever wanted was to feel pretty

Here's to the p o p u l a r kids
with fake smiles, fake friends, fake bodies
yet nowhere near happy

Here's to the f a t kids
eating to fill that emptiness inside of them
yet they are never satisfied

Here's to the s k i n n y girls
hiding under baggy clothing to disguise their so called "fatness"
starving themselves just because they can

Here's to the j o c k s

i wrote you a letter
you never said
whether you got it or not
you never wrote back

it wasn't an important letter
it didn't divulge the secrets
of the known universe
it wasn't philosphic

it was just a little
slice of me sent to you
it held no secrets
only sentiments

but you never answered
never acknowleged its
arrival, never returned
any of yourself to me

it's silly of me, i know
to write you all these letters
to pour myself out
and mail it to you

it's sillier still to be
surprised when each day
passes and there's nothing
for me in the mail
