Chapter 18: Silent

I am teased in school
Just because of the way I look
I don't want to be a bother to anybody, so I don't tell

I keep quiet
I am silent
I allow silent tears to run down my cheeks
As I silently take in their teasing

I kept my voice locked inside
Just as I kept my pain inside
I want to speak
I don't want anybody to worry
I'm just afraid I forgot how

I ran away from home
And I got lost
But I was to afraid to call out
I sat huddled until the cow came
But I still didn't want to talk
I didn't think I could
So I sat silent
