School to Me

I sit here alone in this empty room.

Listening to what surrounds me in my time of gloom.

I hear the boices of the hall,

The doors creaking open,

The click of heels,

The randoms whispers at my ears,

It's all I really ever hear.

In comes a couple of people,

They talk a bit, but not to me,

I keep quiet and don't let them see,

See that I wish for some attention for me,

But I don't wish to be talked to it seems.

I'll stay silent.

I'll keep quiet.

Leave me to myself,

Like a doll sitting on an empty shelf,

No one will hear my silent yelp.

I hear strange sounds,

Like someone is here.

But I look around to find no one is near.

Is this the quietness that everyone fears?

It doesn't seem that bad to me here.

Don't say a word,

I don't like the attention.

Sing a little song in my head,

Hum it a bit, but still keep silent.

Watch the people go by,

The random whispers at my ear,

It's all I really ever hear.
