The Silent Boy

Silent Boy, Tall-dark skin with a skinny complexion

He scurries off to class with a ton of books in his hand as if he's on a mission

But he's only trying to get his education

Silent Boy, Unpopular among the in-crowd 

He speaks with a voice as tender as a mice

Can't even spit game or play extracurriculars to save his life

Girls overlook him as a charity case cause he's too nice

Silent Boy, Nobody wants to mess with him cause they have a reputation to keep

so he's regularly shunned by almost everyone, like public enemy, cause he's 

not in-sync with the mindless herd of sheep

From the nappy waves on his hair, to the countless acne covering his face and to the crooked thick-rim glasses hovering his face 

which earns him a stank glare, and not to mention the brandless soles on his feet with no trademark logos on each pair

Silent Boy, Ambiguosly defined by the masses with stereotypical labels such as

A lame cause he's got no local acclaim to his name, a slow retard because he's doesn't say much in class

when he's obviously not interested, or just a fly on the wall with no meaning to the audience

So what?

He's no different than me and you

He's trying to get through these four years just like you
