I was never one to stand out in a crowd
I stayed quite and watched people go by
I whispered my answers afraid to be loud
I would sit and I’d cry
When I knew no one was around
I never knew why
It was something I did As years flew past
The pain continued on and on
Till I packed my bags
and ran away fast
Nobody even noticed me gone
I found a place I could remove the mask
In a place I truly belong.
