authors note: AU! YEAHH.

I made up the song~

I haven't posted in a while so here's this *shoves in face* sorry it is the most terrible thing on planet Earth.


Broken was such an overused word, and it was supposed to describe an object shattered not a person. Well, the definition's broad, but I think broken just isn't the right word for what I, and many other people, feel. To be honest I feel more demoralized than anything, but who wants to say that they're just a bit demoralized instead of just a bit broken? Maybe, maybe after I sign my song they'll understand that broken isn't what I am, nor is it what they are. We are all just demoralized, selfish little creatures. Could I get them to understand that, even Richard and Kory, the two most snobbiest kids who seemed to deflect anything against their morals. Could I get Garfield, and Victoria, the geeky couple to focused on science to care? Maybe, I could even get Jinx and Wally, or Angela and Trigon? Who knows until you try, and it was my time to try.

I didn't allow the breaking sob to come from my lips, no matter how much I wanted to burst into tears. It was time to sing my song, and get everyone to understand me. I'm not creepy, I swear! I'm just a bit different, and don't we need some differential factors in this world? I can see their bored faces, Kory is about ready to fall to sleep, her eyes drooped slightly as she lay her tan head on her hands. She just had to be perfect, didn't she? I gazed sharply into the crowd, how dare they be bored at my performance? No, I'll stay calm. Just sing, Rachel, just sing.

"You all call me, the broken girl.

And it's true, I live in a lonely world...

But let's be clear on what broken means,

and as far as I go, I am intact...

Instead I want you to call me demoralized,

please don't ask why.

My pain is real, but fake at the same time

Your attention hurts but it's good at the same time...

"I've always lacked the social graces,

Losing my confidence,

I'm loosing it.

I am the demoralized, dismayed girl

with a dejected smile.

"And I swear, i'm not broken

nor am I shattered,

I'm just a little worn down.

Maybe someday you'll see...

I'm not creepy...

I'm just a little different.

Can you understand that?

Why can't you understand that?

"I've always lacked the social graces,

Losing my confidence,

I'm loosing it.

I am the demoralized, dismayed girl

with a dejected smile."

I ended my song to applause. Applause from Kory, who seemed wide awake now, her smile as wide as the ocean. I think her tears were like the ocean too.

Richard was clapping coolly, not daring to allow his chill atmosphere slide, but I saw a strange twinkle in his cyan eye.

Garfield and Victoria clapped wildly, I guessed they really were my friends...

Everyone was clapping, everyone saw me, everyone loved me.
