Quiet Girl
Once she enters the school building
its like the air has choked her
letting her voice disappear.
She is a turtle under a hallow shell who
doesn't let her brightness shine through.
But her intelligence does glow bright
making her known for being smart.
During lunch she eats in silence and awaits
the bell to dismiss her from her agony.
Such loneliness and pain she has for shutting
herself from the world. She's so much more
than smart, but is to afraid to show that.
Finally the bell to go home has rung and her
soul lightens up. She approaches her home and
tears the suffocating plastic wrap to reveal
her true self and be free of judgment.
