Yeah, I see you girl at the back of the class hoping that if she keeps quiet no one will ask her to speak Hoping that if she wills her lips sewn shut no one will see her Yeah I see you, boy melting into the back wall wearing the chains of camouflaged silence to cover up voices that scream insecurity hoping that if he stays quiet no one will see him Yeah I see you, Youre not invisible to me girl afraid to speak because everytime she did she was struck, Yeah I see you. youre not invisible to me boy afraid to speak his mind because hes been told hes stupid one too many times. I see you God ****** , I see you.
