I am a shy girl Age 17 Who has her nose in a book Because society doesn't accept her Her friends are not her friends Since they are so calm to dump her No one seems to care for the girl Who has her face in a book To hide the tears From the unspoken words She always hears I am a shy girl Age 17 Who writes poems That no one sees Since she hides them so perfectly She cries reading them As she sees how her life has been From friends who dump her To unseen and unheard tears To unspoken words From the girl A shy girl Who is age 17
