Pencil

First, you're a cheerleader
Blonde hair and such
You prance with glee
Until you are sucked into the hole we call life

Now you are a jock
You can kick the ball so far
You are on the team
That wins every single time

Now you wear all black
And your smile is never shown
You sigh and never laugh
And you keep a knife on you all the time

Now you're a delinquent
Wearing all orange
You sleep on a rock iron bed
All for what you do before this

Now you're a superstar
You can sing, you can dance
Millions of fans cheering
And you just can't wait for a second album

But now you're a scandal
Posing for a camera
Wrapped in only a thin, white sheet
In trouble with the press

You're now what you called a nerd
No friends, no life
You sit alone with your paper and pen
And you D&D is your passion, your love

Now you're a drunk
At fifteen, such a shame
No matter ho much you try
The drink is too much for you

Now you're a disappointment
To whoever you speak to
You slur and you giggle
And you sit home alone

Now you're a killer
You shoot your black gun
Stealth, silent
And you can help no one

Now you are dead
Your body is buried
You cannot uprise
You are silent, gone with the smooth air

What's the point
Of having a pencil
When everyone
Draws out your life for you
