Speaking has never been my specialty.
Speaking will never be my specialty.
I can write endless words on pieces of paper,
Yet I can't get myself to say things out loud.
It's the small things, really, that are holding me back.
Like when I try to speak up in class I feel attacked.
I can't bring up a simple idea without feeling as if I ruin everything.
People look at me,
Or so I think,
In a negative manner.
They make me slide down in my seat.
They make me remain silent in class.
If I ever raise my hand in class it's to ask a question or to answer a question I absolutely know the answer to.
I'm so scared of making a fool of myself.
I'm scared that people don't like me.
As I sit here in class,
I feel like glass--
That is about to shatter.
