I sit staring at the wall
hoping not to get called on

She calls on somebody
the boy in front of me
I get nervous

She calls on me
I stay quiet

The class laughs
as I stay quiet

She says my name again..
I still don't respond

I am the outcast of the group
I sit in back
nobody knows me
I sit staring at the wall
not responding

I stay quiet forever.
