Jaded Smile
September 17, 2003

Class, bring this back with your Mommy and Daddys signature, okay?
I want it back by Monday.

Dont forget to tell your parents about Back to School Night.

Youll be alright...
Its just a little scrape,
Well call your mommy while we fix it with a bandage and tape.

You cant just reach up,
Grab her wrists and tell her to her face,
Teacher-lady Id appreciate it if you knew,
And used,
A different word instead of mommy and daddy.
Dont you see?
Maybe some kiddies cant say, Mom, Im home,
When they walk in the door from school.

Ive been a fool.
I should I have kept this all buried,
Let my reality be carried,
In stories, fables, lies...
You should just tell them,
That your mommy and daddy died.
Then they wouldnt ask questions anymore...
But theyd look at you funny,
Treat you different because your heart is sore.
Try to make your shaded life sunny.
Try to make your jaded smile happy,
Kill the sorrow that makes me sappy.
Kill the parents still hiding,
Tell everyone its just your mind youre fighting.
People think youre weird, dont they?
Scared to talk to you, dont know what to say.
Scared they might strike a topic of tears.
Dont you wish you could them with shears?
Cut mirrors, cut fears, cut years...
Dice your life, halve it into two.
The good and the bad,
Chop, chop til your not mad.
I need a clean slate,
One to practice how to spell love and not hate.
School can teach me past presidents,
But I learn on my own, my presence.
Where do I belong,
How can I be strong?
They cant tell you that,
You live life hating minutes,
Finding demension in things they call flat.
School is life,
Hard work, bad grades, and little breaks.
Seems like no matter how hard you try,
That call home always makes you cry...
Try to make your shaded life sunny.
Try to make your jaded smile funny.
