Every single class
I sit in the back of the room.
Hide myself in misery,
And silently fade into gloom.

I cannot speak out loud,
I cannot communicate.
It’s sad that my destiny
Has determined its horrible fate.

I feel so excluded
Like people don’t notice me.
I wouldn’t be so shy
If I could feel like somebody.

I wish I could sit in the middle
Maybe on the side.
But no I’m forced to sit back here,
Silently fade, emotionally hide.

My pale skin doesn’t help,
I blend in with the wall.
I try to speak out for me
But no one listens at all.

If only they could understand
If only they could see.
I’m not so shy because of them...
I’m shy because I’m me.
