I'Ll Just Shut Up
In science class, the teacher asks a question,
And I know that I can solve this situation.
I raise my hand and she calls me, smiling
Then I rise to answer and start speaking.
But the words come out in a choked whisper
So feeble and unsure, they couldn't be softer,
My heart starts pounding as I try not to look weak
Trying though struggling to properly speak.
After the answer, everyone stares at me
I gasp and look down, trying not to let them see
The tears that I know will fall and will not stop
As I shakingly mumble, "I'll just shut up."
