Little Change
The day started with the teams made
but as one girl heard the news,
she just wanted to fade
fade like an old bruise
She knew her team wouldn’t
Let her be who she wanted
As they thought she couldn’t
Have any skills that she never flaunted
The games had started
But the girl was stuck at the start
The others hadn’t parted
For her to play smart
They were strict
But then there was quite a change
Not as focused on being perfect
The girl was let play, it was strange
But then she realized
They did it so the teacher
Wouldn’t noticed her cries
And see her as a caged creature
She tried to change things
And they kind of did
But all was lost as she sings
About the unfairness she almost undid
