Help...

Maybe I wasn't loud enough.

Sitting in a class with new faces,

I'm sitting at the back, as my mind travels to other places.

I screamed "Help..."

Nobody could hear a thing,

Nobody would ever think,

There's fear in me to approach another being.

Finally home, dinner is ready,

At the dining table with my family.

As I take a bite, they start to criticize.

I screamed "Help..."

Confronted by staring eyes and a talk about my size.

Bringing me down even deeper,

As my confidence grows weaker.

In the middle of the night,

Fear and silence by my side.

I screamed "Help..."

As I close my eyes, drowning in tears.

I got so much to say, but nobody that hears.
