Voiceless


I raise my hand to voice my opinion Nobody sees me, nobody listens I try getting my teachers attention My name she decides to not even mention Of course she continues to call on the boys Who constantly call out and always make noise So I decide to call out too, all the boys join together and say boo My teacher says to voice your opinion, raise your hand Millie After she said this I felt just silly So I put my hand down And just sit here and frown It sucks being female because all the boys are favored All because of their stupid and wreckless behavior So never will I raise my hand And never will I voice my opinion again
