HOW DO I FIND MY VOICE?
The school bus wheezes to my corner
I am the only person sitting alone
A guy shoots a Ho-Ho at the back of my head
"I Hate You" Rachel mouths silently. I am outcast
I make it through two weeks
A note says "Pizza 555-4892. Small tip this time."
We communicate with notes
I can't help myself
I nibble on a scab on my lower lip
She didn't even bother to find out the truth
Rachel will hate me
Fought for the right to speak
No one should be forced
I must talk to Rachel
Hey
Are you still mad at me?
I write
Some guy raped me
Yes, I'm OK
