Lesbian in the locker room

I'm willing to worship
Any girl that calls me a name other than disgusting 
The world is progressive 
But it has not moved forward 
I turn to face the linoleum, saying,
                                          "Oh the ceiling is looking mighty fine today"
And then they squeal 
                                          "Ew, she's looking at me!"
Report me to the principle if you dare
I dare you to be outed 
And still have to show up to class every day 

I leave the locker room 
Gym shorts and ugly gray t-shirt
Covering up the undeserved shame I feel 
I'm just focused on trying to make the volleyball team 
I'm not worried about how high you're hiking up your shorts 
Until they are microscopic 
It doesn't make you look cool 
Oh, and Josh, I talked to him 
He doesn't like you 

I hope your Christian parents 
Can see how you dress when they aren't there to check in the morning 
Putting on mascara that's full of vulgarity 
And misleading phrases 
Your pretty polished faces made middle school living torture 
I should have stayed in the closet
Instead of coming out for you
