Sincerely, The Girl in the Corner
It's me:
the girl in the corner.
Shy.
Quiet.
Reserved.
It's her:
the girl in the corner.
Boring?
Rude?
Anti-social?
Dull?
Mysterious.
It's me again:
the girl in the corner.
I dare not open my mouth or move an inch...
unless I want to be judged like I've committed a crime.
It's her again:
the girl in the corner.
The way she sits there idly makes me think that...
she doesn't want anything to do with me.
I just felt like saying, as the girl in the corner, that I have many statements to express. But if I do, it could come out wrong. It may come out right, but it would be wrong in your eyes.
I wish to mention, as the one in the front of the room, that I believe you don't have anything to tell me. If you did, you would speak up.
I am unknown- being the girl in the corner- and I am not seen. But if I am examined, I am viewed as someone who wishes not be heard or looked at. But truly, I only desire to be myself while free of constant criticism. If I opened up, would you respect me? So once again...
It's me: the girl in the corner.
Could I venture away from this spot someday?
