The crowd goes one way, she takes the other, the long way.
She walks with her head down, afraid of judging.
She give small smiles but doesn’t speak.
As the class conversates, she only sits and listens.
Walking the halls, headphones in, her one motivation song playing.
Cliques, Besties and Teammates at lunch
Where as she sits in the bare corner or high chair away from the crowd.
She listens to music and eats keeping to herself.
As everyone clutters the hall heading to class she speed walks
The first one in class.

 

 

She gets home and  speaks freely,  following her routine.
She keeps her head up, speaking & laughing with her family.
She sings and dances around with no care or shame, her audience, her little black and white  furry friend.
Hearing her family talk/joke she joins in.
Walking outside music playing out loud she smiles, the comfort surrounding
Her cat, mom and brothers around
Everywhere in the house, bouncing from room to room.
Listening to music and singing aloud, no one around to judge
Her comfort zone.
 


The author's comments:

I wanted to write this becuse I feel like a few people can realte to the theme of being shy and closed up and public but once their around their very own, family or people they're comfotable with their an open book and freely 'out there'. I know I had the main character as a "She" but any person could be like that. I think it's pretty much mainly in school that the 'public' thing is an issue for people but as for in public with family (stores, events etc..) they're still more confotable.
