Loud in my head
Thoughts that are itching to be said
But I can’t quite get them out
It’s purple in here
All alone
And when I talk
It comes out monotone
Silent and dim
Stillness in my voice
I don’t mean for that to happen
I want to be friends with everyone
Beautiful and confident
Laughing in the hall
But instead I’m stuck in my head
And I’m terrified of being this way forever
Of going even further back and staying in a shell
I want to be interesting
I want to be liked
I’m scared of this lasting forever
