Yesterday

Yesterday in the Girls' Room,
As I was fixing my hair
I witnessed something that just wasn't right,
I knew it was unfair

You see, also in the Girls' Room,
Was a girl I didn't know
She had just transferred to this school
About a week ago

This girl was very quiet
She wore some different clothes
Unlike the designer ones
That most other people chose

Some of my friends walked into the bathroom,
And I knew they would be cruel,
But I was afraid to make them stop
'Cause they'd think I was uncool

My friends made fun of the girl,
And a tear rolled down her cheek
As they laughed right in her face,
And made her feel so weak

I froze in utter silence,
And shuddered at the sight
Of my friends bullying the girl
I just knew it wasn't right

But instead of helping out the girl,
Which I knew I should have done,
I joined my friends in teasing her
Even though it was not fun

Now I have this feeling
Of terrible regret
My friends are very happy,
But I just feel upset

As I walked into the hallway,
The girl was passing by
I was gonna say "I'm sorry"
That I had made her cry

But the girl just kept on walking
At a very angry pace,
With a sadness in her heart,
And a pout upon her face

Now I'm resenting what I did
In the Girls' Room yesterday
I look right at the girl,
But she looks the other way

So the advice I have to give you
Is don't join in with friends
If they are being bullies,
'Cause you'll regret it in the end
