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.
