Stutter

So shy

Can't seem to relax

Just standing there

Not able to get a word out

She's made fun of for having

No friends

And being alone

Just a jumpy little girl

Is all people see

She's so much more inside

But nobody ever takes the time to look

They judge her and push her back down

Past the bottom

To the black corners

Nobody can even see

She has these big, staring, brown eyes

Beautiful brown eyes

Covered in a veil of hurt

It's been that way for years

Slowly growing thicker and thicker

She's almost blind now

Blind to the kindness in the world

All she ever gets is shit from people

She didn't used to be this way

But people are mean

Cruel

They took her confidence

Courage

Hope

Passion

Energy

And just left her with a nervous stutter
