Struggle in the Darkness


When I'm up there presenting a project at school,

Why is that I'm always getting nervous?

Perhaps by all means, it is only natural for one to get nervous and shy

However, there's no need for many to laugh just because of that,

But instead of laughing, many should just sit quitely, be respectful, and listen,

On the other hand, if I were to get stuck on a concept I'm trying to pull out,

Someone who is listening to me should help me at least,

Or the least to say, have the teacher help me out.

Why is that? Because it's their job to look out for students 

For those who wants to be successful in life.

Those who continue to laugh, will go no where to begin with.

I wish someone could understand how I feel, 

However, it is not just me,

There are many that are like me who feels this way,

Yet, those struggles can't be defined, can't be solve, or anything

But what we can do is to keep on going, and if people laugh,

They shouldn't be at school because they're not here to learn.

Though, one must re-examine themselves, 

And accept their flaws in life so that one may

Find their true self.

Those who cannot accept themselves,

Will invariably fail in life.

When someone finds the acceptance,

They can find out who and what they are.

If one struggles, someone needs to lend a hand 

Instead of standing in the middle of no where

With nothing to say.

However, I believe that there will be a time

Where people can truly understand one another,

And to get along with each other and show a sign of respect.
