Walk into the halls

Say hello

I just keep walking

Like a movie, everyone is doing their own thing in their own groups

Conversations in every corner

Laughs and hugs

I missed you

 

Did you miss me?

Probably not

You forgot about me, right? But I'm used to it

Unnoticed

 

First class done, something happened

I need to tell

But who do I tell? I have no one

Unnoticed

 

Lunch. Oh joy, my favorite time of day. 

Where do I sit? 

I'll just squeeze here. 

You give each other looks, I know you don't want me here. 

But hey, you noticed me... right? 

Unnoticed

 

Go ahead, make plans in front of me. I don't mind. 

I'm used to it. 

Fake a smile on my face, maybe say a word or two. 

Eat my food. That's just how I do. 

Unnoticed

 

The day is almost over and then I pass you. 

I smile, say "hello", and you say "hi" back. 

That's all. Why don't you notice me?

 

Why doesn't anyone notice me?

Make plans in my face, don't include me,

only talk to me if you need help with school.

I'm through. I can't take it anymore.

I want to be heard. I want friends. I want invites.

I want... I want someone. I need someone. 

 

4 years roll bye and this train is about to stop.

Graduation.

Later suckers!  

I thought time would heal my wounds, but they're still open.

Rotting. Ew.

Time to seal them up, try on a new mask.

 

College is almost here. Let's hope I don't screw that one up too. But how can I screw something up if I didn't do anything wrong to begin with? Maybe all of you are the problem. 

Fingers crossed. Prayers sent.

Let's hope the future is better.

Better decisions, better friends, a happier more positive me.

Who knows, maybe you'll even notice me. 

 

So long, khodaa haafez, aloha, adios. Just don't forget about me. 

But for now I bid you all an adieu. Maybe even add a screw you.
