Unfiltered I am...?

Thu, 12/11/2014 - 16:32 -- SarahTT

Hello, I'm the girl who sits in the corner.

Remember me?

Of course not. Why should you give me a second glance?

Quiet, brainy, unassuming

Awkward

Loner

This is what you see. I guarantee it.


If you were to join me in the theatre after school

(my "turf" just the same as your precious field), I would be

Unrecognizable

Unfiltered.


I am many things.

Quiet and brainy, yes, but also shockingly

Sarcastic

Witty

Sly

Mischievous

Always ready with a quick gibe to add humor to any conversation

and just as ready with a kind word and shoulder to cry on.


Underneath this serene exterior, I am bursting with the

magic of Mozart and the beauty of Bach,

longing to share what I hear.

Listen to my silence,

hear what I'm not saying, and you have the potential to

unlock my most secret dreams.


But already I see your eyes clouding over in boredom.

So leave me to my corner, please.

I have no time for you, who judge me without giving me a chance.

But do yourself a favor and read a dictionary.

You may be the butt of more jokes than you realize.
