IF THEY ONLY KNEW ME

I found the bashful shy side of myself
In the rear of the room looking lame
Misunderstood, laughed at, put to shame

I stood alone, my voice turned to stone

Still I could see the beauty of myself
For this reason I did not cry aloud
I allowed my mind to fly upon a cloud

I stood alone, my voice turned to stone

None dare to care, they did not ask
Just like all the writing on the wall
I heard my name echo in the hall
