    in the clique
    they've changed

    left out
    mom asks
    how was school?
    I lie
    'fine'
    she wouldn't understand

    the clique
    i am not in
    the girls
    who ignore me
    I want to crawl up in a corner and die

    I know they laugh
    at me
    my style
    my clothes
    my hair
    but not to my face

    the parties
    I'm not invited to
    they talk about
    right infront
    of my nose

    I want to scream
    I need to talk
    to somone
    anyone
    but I don't have anyone

    the clique
