In the Back of the Room
Here I am no one knows
I sit in the quiet like I'm all alone
Never raising my hand never being heard
Daydreaming of a way to escape without a word
The people around are unaware of my existence
They go on with their class not knowing of my persistence
My wanting to belong
These feelings have become strong
But I’m almost reminded that I cannot be them
No matter how hard I try I can’t pretend
Pretend to have a voice and that my words should be used to heal and mend
So I’m keeping this refrain short and quiet
I wish I could cause more of a riot
I guess have to settle for now than soon
I will remain the girl in the back of the room
