Blank Expression.
The lights are on but there is nobody in.
I can hear all the people quietly talking.
There must be someone inside of there.
With a cold blank expression, I just stare.
When I speak, I want everyone to listen.
I want them to understand my position.
I know I should speak about my situation.
I don\'t want to answer all the questions.
They say there\'s sadness behind my eyes.
I often wonder have they wondered why.
It seems it is difficult to engage with me.
Its normal for me to be cold emotionally.
Teachers are not too sure if I\'m taking it in.
I often get accused of not paying attention.
I am listening and breathing everything in.
It’s just another world I am currently living.
They will always judge me on what they see.
Making no effort to get to know the real me.
In some ways I am happy with their decision.
It means I don’t have to answer any questions.
