Hello? Are you there? I ask. I need to talk, but no one is listening. Just one quick second, and I will be finished, But please just take a moment to hear my words. If someone screams in the middle of the woods, Is there anyone there to hear his cries? Or are there only trees and rocks and things That hear him yell and swallow his words And prevent others from hearing his pain? Hello? Are you there? I ask again. I need to talk, but no one is listening. I have some more to say about the way I feel, So please listen and help me, for this one time. If a star is alone in the vastness of space Is there anything there to admire its shine? Or is it destined to twinkle, isolated from others While children sings songs and wish upon other stars While this one is alone in the dark? Hello? Are you there? I ask with urgency. I need to talk, but no one is listening. Just a few more words, please hear me out. I'm dying to tell this to someone who cares. I have tons of friends on Facebook Plenty of email addresses to write to And numerous numbers to text and call But why do I still feel like I have no one to talk to? Why do I feel so alone? Hello? Are you there? I ask desperately. I need to talk, but no one is listening. I feel alone, like the world is against me, And I need someone to understand me. Today we have lots of ways to communicate. Writing letter, typing emails, Talking and texting on the phone, Chatting on Facebook or other social networks, Even plain old talking face-to-face talking. But even with all these ways to talk to others, Why are my words never heard? Hello? Are you there? I ask with despair. I need to talk, but no one is listening. I'm starting to hurt more, feeling more alone Waiting for someone to come along and say, "Are you okay?" I feel like a dolphin swimming through the ocean Using sonar sounds to locate other dolphins But all the others are with each other And none of them hear my calls So I continue to swim alone in the sea The vast, salty, cold ocean water Hiding the tears coming out of my eyes Hello? Are you there? I ask, crying out. I need to talk, but no one is listening. I'm tired of bottling my feelings up, But there is no one else to tell them to. Why can I be in a room full of people Yet feel so alone at the same time? Why do I give so much advice to others Yet struggle to find someone who will listen to me? Is it even worth trying to find an ear To take in the words that come from my mouth? Hello? Are you there? I ask in a whisper. I need to talk, but no one is listening. Hey, do you have some time to talk to me? Oh wait, no? Okay, oh well… I guess I'm alone.

One day, a kid came up to me and said, "Hey Grace, what did you get on the science test?" I replied saying, "I got a 97%" "Only a 97%?" the kid said. "You should have gotten a 100%, Since you're a nerd." And that’s when I started to think Why am I the one that's the nerd? We all have a brain We all use our brains We're all smart in our own ways In different areas of life So in a way, Aren't we all nerds? Our brains don't start out super smart When we were born We barely knew a single thing We lived day by day Using our brains to learn new things Helping our brains grow Not in size, but in knowledge Learning back then was natural instinct But things have changed Now, there is so much more we can be doing Instead of using our brains to learn We have cell phones And social networks And TV shows And parties And relationships And so much more stuff that takes us away From using our brains to learn It happens to everyone, not just some people But some people still learn While all these things are going on These things that are distracting them from letting their brain grow They use their brains To redirect themselves from these distractions And learn new things whenever they can By learning, these people's brains grow In knowledge, not in size It's those people The people that use their brains to learn That are the 'nerds' in society Because they know more than everyone else But really, They are only 'nerds' Because they let themselves use their brains and learn Unlike those other people That let the distractions take them hostage So when that kid told me I was a nerd I just said to him "I'm not a nerd, I just use my brain more than others."
