I Don't Mind


Sitting in class where everyone ignores me. I don't mind though, because they're all better off. The girl behind me kicks my chair pokes me in the back and shove the row's homework in my face. The teacher doesn't even know my first name, neither does half the class. I don't mind though, because I know I'm a loser. The kids whisper pointless drama about who screwed whom and who wore what. The thing that happened in fifth period yesterday and the newest drug out there. I don't mind though, because I'm not a part of it. Nobody speaks to me. I'm the freak. The teacher doesn't acknowledge me. They forget to pass me a paper. I don't mind though, because being invisible is a whole hell of a lot better than being spoken to.
