Why can't I just let go? Who would notice if so? I have many friends and family, yet I'm the one anomaly.  The lesbian at a Christian school.  The one no one thinks is cool.  In my family, I'm the odd one out.  The on they would forget about. The one who won't listen, who they would like to go missin'. My friends? Yeah, they'd miss me, but in time they'd replace me, you'll see.  I'm never picked to pair up first, I certainly am the worst.  They have their parties and games, I'm not in. Am I to blame? Sorry I'm not cool,  I'm invisible to the school.  The teams I'm on, they'd find a replacement Someone better, a bigger and better play set.  My family would miss me, sure, but they'll find a way to endure.  My girlfriend? I dunno what she'll do.  She'll possibly join me in death.
