Have you seen a really fat kid
sitting along the far corners of the cafeteria?
Or a kid in the waiting area by himself
reading books or staring into the blank space?
Not to forget the kid being bullied
in the bathroom just because he came to school today?
...
I was them. Well... I'm still them at times
(Most of the time actually)

It's not that I didn't like talking to people
People just didn't talk to me
I honestly didn't know what to say to people
People didn't know what to say to me

Apparently, Quantum Mechanics wasn't really
a topic 6th Graders talked about
and Classical Music isn't something
that kids my age were fans of

I've lived like that my entire childhood
Until one day, I told myself off
One day, I woke up saying
"Someday, someone will talk to me"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So I guess, it'd be funny to honestly say that
I used to take notes of people around me
I kept a notebook around before
that had all the things that could help me
get to know someone more

I confess that I used to practice speaking a lot
I used to practice on a mirror
of what to say to other people,
especially when they're not feeling okay

I used to talk to myself all the time
Usually of what to say when someone
feels a certain feeling like anger, hurt, or hate
Joy, love, sadness... I've practiced words a lot
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I did all this just for one reason
Practiced  day and night and fought through agony
All I wanted ever since I was a child
was to gain a friend
