The crowd goes one way, she takes the other, the long way.
She walks with her head down, afraid of judging.
She give small smiles but doesn’t speak.
As the class conversates, she only sits and listens.
Walking the halls, headphones in, her one motivation song playing.
Cliques, Besties and Teammates at lunch
Where as she sits in the bare corner or high chair away from the crowd.
She listens to music and eats keeping to herself.
As everyone clutters the hall heading to class she speed walks
The first one in class.
She gets home and speaks freely, following her routine.
She keeps her head up, speaking & laughing with her family.
She sings and dances around with no care or shame, her audience, her little black and white furry friend.
Hearing her family talk/joke she joins in.
Walking outside music playing out loud she smiles, the comfort surrounding
Her cat, mom and brothers around
Everywhere in the house, bouncing from room to room.
Listening to music and singing aloud, no one around to judge
Her comfort zone.
