Wallflower

Always there never really noticed. Sitting in class in years past no teachers really remember him: his face, his voice, his presence in the room. One of the brightest in his class, yet still forgotten. Many might recognize, but most just ignore. Only when he speaks up he is present to the eyes of everyone. Unfortunately he doesn't have the courage to speak up. Doesn't have the initiative to liven up a room. Doesn't have the will to be seen, heard, or touched. Always distant always afraid. Contemplative. Wanting acceptance in a world full of judgment and ridicule. Will someone release this boy from his prison of silence? Will someone secure his insecurities and silence his inner turmoil?

hmph....maybe someday
