I go to speak, I get laughed at. "Shut up, no one's listening!" I voice an opinion, they ignore me. They just look at me and go about their business.

I stay silent, they think I don't care. "You're so quiet - what's the matter with you?" I try to explain, they say I'm exaggerating. They roll their eyes and go about their business.

Nobody sees me, nobody cares. Everything I do is pathetic in their eyes. I put up my barriers and crawl in my shell

Ha!

Then they wonder why I'm bitter.
