Rumors from High School by Maggie Morgan

Thank you for last night
I really had a blast
Hey, did you find my bra?
Can you bring it after class?

Every time I sit now,
I feel bruises on my ass
But I’m not mad, if I’m honest,
I’m kinda into that

I see you in the caf
You smile and wave
And my friend nudges me
And I give myself away
And everybody’s judging me
And maybe that’s okay
Cause maybe I like it that way

Around me there are whispers,
And rumors in the air
And they creep into my nostrils,
And get caught among the hairs
And it makes me wanna sneeze but
I’d like to keep them there
Cause as childish as it sounds,
They mean that someone cares

Somebody cares

When I walk in the room,
I know something has changed
Walking feels a lot less
Like I’m on display

There’s power in me now
That people know my name
And there’s an air around me
And I finally have a place

I see you look at me
I smile and wave
And my friend nudges me
And I give myself away
And everybody’s judging me
And maybe that’s okay
Cause maybe I like it that way

Around me there are whispers,
And rumors in the air
And they creep into my nostrils,
And get caught among the hairs
And it makes me wanna sneeze but
I’d like to keep them there
Cause as childish as it sounds,
They mean that someone cares

And around me there are whispers,
And glances and rumors
And they filter into my lungs,
I wanna breathe them into yours
They nestle right by my heart,
And they seem to fill that hole
As childish as it sounds,
I’m glad that someone knows
