Hello?
Do you know me?
I suspect not because
I’m not one of “them”

I’m not part of the “status quo”
Or the group of people
who make themselves known

No.
I’m quiet and shy
And although I seem to
Prefer my own company
Talking to others and making new friends
Brings me great joy
But how would you know that?

Hello?
Can you see me?
Probably not.
I am just another nameless face
In this godforsaken place
That people can’t wait to escape

To you
The only people that matter
Are the ones who stand out
Not the ones who blend in

Haven’t you learned?
Judging a book by its cover
Without first reading its story
Will make your life a lot more boring

Hello?
Just give me chance
Shoot me a smile
I’ll make it worth your while
