From a Cheerleader's Point of View

Most say we are snobby, rude, conceited and preppy Students that are uneducated with no common sense Some say our uniforms are simply skimpy But what they don't know is that we don't settle for less The treatment we get is not as it seems Apparently we are a group of sluts Those stares in the hallway are nothing but gleams At what they think I'm all about is completely nuts Attention getters is what we are Thinking we are popular and bomb People's beliefs are that we won't go far And only reach out for a Pom Pom Many movies portray us as only white girls Sleeping with the football and basketball team We tend to say "she makes me wanna hurl" But this is another extreme Cheer isn't a sport because we don't do much Our routines are simple and contain no skill We are wimpy and weak with a soft touch But the truth is we are fierce with a kill We will continue to carry that Blackhawk pride Where ever we will go Everything we have learned will not subside Especially when the wind may blow They have no idea how much their negative talk hurts But in the end my team and me will come out on top These stereotypes are easy to dust off my skirt As they encourage me not to drop The truth is I am in a sport called Cheerleading and I will be successful in life!
