By Myself
Always by myself, I don’t make a sound
I could pound and pound on a drum
But you would not hear me
You push me down, call me names
Am I alone, no I am
By myself
Always by myself
I try not to cry
It makes me feel smaller
Even though your greater and taller
You can make me feel inferior
You push me down, I get back up
This time there is no name calling
Always by myself, I don't make a sound
When you see me, I am the ant and you are
the elephant step on me, I shout to you
But do you hear me? No you don’t
But do others? yes
My smile blooms when I saw you
Next day I was never by myself
Today’s a new day
I talk to people, do they hear?
Yes, they do.
When they spoke I knew what they could hear
They could hear the bangs on the drums
When they listened I knew they could see me
They could see I am Rylee Bauknecht
