They don't see

December 10, 2013

I stroll through the halls smiling and waving

They don’t see

I pass in my homework and papers on time with diligence

They don’t see

I laugh with my friends as notes are exchanged

They don’t see

I participate in soccer and yearbook year in and year out

They don’t see

I graduate and venture off to college…

They never knew the real me
