At Seventeen

I learned the truth at seventeen

  • I learned the truth at seventeen
  • That love was meant for beauty queens
  • And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
  • Who married young and then retired
  • The valentine's I never knew
  • The Friday night charades of youth
  • Were spent on one more beautiful
  • At seventeen I learned the truth
  • And those of us with ravaged faces
  • Lacking in the social graces
  • Desperately remained at home
  • Inventing lovers on the phone
  • Who called to say
  • Come dance with me
  • And murmured vague obscenities
  • It isn't all it seems at seventeen
  • A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
  • Whose name I never could pronounce
  • Said "Pity please the one's who serve
  • They only get what they deserve"
  • The rich relationed hometown queen
  • Marries into what she needs
  • With a guarantee of company
  • And haven for the elderly
  • Remember those who win the game
  • Lose the love they sought to gain
  • In debentures of quality
  • And dubious integrity
  • Their small town eyes will gape at you
  • In dull surprise when payment due
  • Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
  • To those of us who knew the pain
  • Of valentines that never came
  • And those whose names were never called
  • When choosing sides for basketball
  • It was long ago and far away
  • The world was younger than today
  • When dreams were all they gave for free
  • To ugly duckling girls like me
  • We all play the game and when we dare
  • To cheat ourselves at solitaire
  • Inventing lovers on the phone
  • Repenting other lives unknown
  • Who call and say come dance with me
  • And murmur vague obscenities
  • To ugly girls like me at seventeen
