"Just talk."
That's what I hear everyday.
Yet, you don't know how
Hard it is.
I want friends. I want to speak-
But I can't seem to open my mouth.
I try so hard to get your attention.
But you only look at the normal ones.
Can't you just take a glance at me?
You ignore me, I feel forgotten.
I isolate myself to test if you'll
Come and comfort me.
But you don't even see me.
I used to talk, why can't I now?
I ask myself the same question.
You tell me to smile, yes, I'd love to-
But I can't when I feel alone.
They think I'm just shy but it's
More than that.
