'diamond' In the Rough: An All-Girls School Poem

I miss the days of innocence Of sluttiness without repercussions Where beauty was only of character And Aesthetics was a vague awareness /filtered in/ From the outside world only Unpolished 'diamonds' in the rough You can stay in the rough forever (As long as you are in the all-girls' school) Note: this poem ain't meant to defame or disgrace. It's the truth of my perspective, looking back on my secondary school days in Singapore. In fact, this recollection is with fondness.
