The people around me are smiling
Talking to each other and grinning
The room is loud and noisy
Their voices and laughter echoing around me
In my mind it's the same
Noise keeps getting louder, it cannot be tamed
Why do words only speak in my head?
Do I not have courage for it to be said?
In a large room with many people,
Groups are made easily like it was really simple
So why does it feel so difficult for me to do?
I don't understand I want to be friends with you guys too!
But that is just wishful thinking on my part
A silly dream I keep close to my heart
But what can I do to make it come true,
When talking is already hard for me to do?
