I am afraid
Location
I am afraid
Afraid to raise my hand
Afraid to even try
I am smart, just not as smart as my classmates
I know i am smart, I just take a longer time comprehending
It is not my intention to make you angry when I raise my hand and simply ask if you may please repeat what you just said
I am afraid because of you
Afraid of humiliation infront of all of my classmates
I have learned that, for you , the raise of my hand signifies a chance to give me sarcasm and unpleasant remarks
I am afraid to even try
I am afraid because of you
