St. Helens goes to bed early
She wakes up early, too
She is a good kid
She gets good grades

St. Helens is an athlete
She loves football
She is great at basketball
She lives for volleyball

St. Helens has an addiction
She is a rebel
She loves to bike
She loves to skip school

St. Helens is an alcoholic
She has anger issues
She doesn’t have control
She is depressed

St. Helens is a little town
That no one cares for
But if you get the chance to
Meet her
I swear
You’ll fall in love

The author's comments:
St. Helens is always underestimated by bigger and better towns, and maybe sometimes they are right. But this is my home, and I love it here.
