In my school, I try to hide
In my school, I have few at my side

In the hall, I don’t talk a lot
In the hall, I try to be a dot

Not knowing what they think, I have no confidence or place
Not knowing what they think, my mind flies at a fast pace

In most classes, I slouch in my chair
In most classes, I make sure people don’t stare

From room to room, I dread the whole day
From room to room, I fear what people say

If they talk to me, I put up a fence
If they talk to me, I reply in defense

In my mind, I can hear the judging of peers
In my mind, I make reality of my fears

Is it about me, my mind asks all day through
Is it about me, “Of course it’s about you”

I hear this all day, and I can’t make it stop
I hear this all day, and my mind is ready to pop

When I’m in a group, I never belong
When I’m in a group, I don’t stay very long

When the next bell rings, my fence rises once more
When the next bell rings, once again I must walk through the door

Once again, I feel tense and stressed
Once again, I feel alone and depressed

Due to middle school, I feel all these things
Due to middle school, I hate when my morning alarm rings

The way they judged me, I can still hear it yet
The way they judged me, I will never forget

I would rather stay home, hidden from the rest
I would rather stay home, where I feel my best

At school, I feel anxious of what is said behind my back
At school, I don’t trust many and confidence is what I lack

Of course, there is one place where I can be
Of course, I do have people who like me for me

When I eat lunch, I feel like I fit
When I eat lunch, I have somewhere to sit

In this group, we all get along
In this group, we all belong

Friends for ever, I trust them so much
Friends for ever, I can use them as a crutch

If I am down, they know what to do
If I am down, they are there on a queue

If everyone had this group, no one would feel left out
If everyone had this group, no one would mope about

I have been that lone soul, I have been in that spot
I have been that lone soul, but now I am not

For them I am thankful, I can now make a choice
For them I am thankful, I now have a voice

For having a click, life finally makes sense
For having a click, I don’t feel so tense

Thanks to them, my future is good, I can see
Thanks to them, I can go to school and be me
