She always held her thoughts back
Because well, who wants to hear the opinion
Of the new girl
So she sits silently
In the back of the classroom

Intelligence, when suppressed
Ceases to exist
Her mind grew differently than all the other kids
Because she sat silently
In the back of the classroom

Finally comfortable, she begins to speak
But then she's uprooted, moved
To a new place
Once again she's the new girl
In the back of the classroom

This happens so often, she's afraid to make friends
After all, who cares about the new girl
In the back of the classroom?
Will she ever stop being the new girl
In the back of the classroom?
I have been the new kid in so many schools, and it is so unbelievably uncomfortable. Especially when still in elementary school. Now as a freshman in highschool, I had to switch not only schools, but states again...
