Someone is better


Don't make me go out there

Everyone will stare

Please leave me alone 

I don't want to be shown

Someone will laugh at me

And surely others will agree

If only I could disappear

Instead of face this fear

Now in front of you all

I will stand tall

My heart beats fast

But I know this won't last

One breath after another

And I can be like no other
