Unparalleled


I am the kid who sits alone Not because I have to but I want to I watch people with their friends talking And gossiping about who likes who And laughing at the jokes each of them make While I sit and watch I wonder how it would be like To be like them Have people who want to talk to you who want your input who hold onto your words like you’re their favorite movie But then I remember I chose this life for myself I knew it would be hard something that people will break down and fall into an endless tunnel if they were me I didn't want to be them because I wasn't intrigued by the words they offered Their word and actions were only a mirror of their friends I want to be different. I want to be the girl that no one knows and don't remembers but know is there The girl that no one can read because I am written in Anglo-Norman I am that girl that speaks but no one cares to listen I am the girl that you see often but are afraid of saying hello You friends don't understand my being and you have no judgment off your own And don't I get mad Because I hold onto your words I laugh at your jokes But I do it all while sitting alone
