Life In A Small Town
No one would have guessed
Things would end up this way
Living in a small town
Everyone should have known
But to the town’s surprise
They never suspected this
There was no warning to be had
And no warning to be taken
But now there will be stories
Told in the halls of school
And in the pews of church
About a girl gone wrong
She lived a modest life
Attending all the social events
Including the pasture parties
But never being invited to one
Nobody noticed her
She was just another face
That rotated around
Drinking and socializing
But they should have known
The quietest are the worst
Hiding everything
And never letting anyone in
Then there was one day
That changed things
And no matter what they say
They should have known
She took her list of names
And read them loud and clear
In front of the school board
On just who were having affairs
But it didn’t stop at that
She walked up to those
Who called her stupid
And let them have it
She named every misstep
Causing disarray in the town
Breaking infallible hearts
And freeing captured ones
In a town proud of family
Barely a soul is left
From the disillusions
That had been caused
But for those left behind
There is lesson learned
One should not judge
For the audience may be me
