Trapped

Talking is happening all around me
Running around and around
Almost every corner in this school is covered with students gossiping
People talking about other people
Principles not caring
Even when it turns to out to be a rumor
Don't ever do shit.

So when I say I'm trapped.
I am.
I'm trapped.
This school makes me feel trapped.
Suffocating in this damn place.
Like a prison.
Filled with people who are nothing but snakes.

Try living in my shoes
Rotting away in the corners of my classes
All day, every day
Purposely not bringing attention to myself
People don't know who I am
Even the teachers hesitate when coming to my name on the roster.
Didn't know I was even there.

I'm trapped.
I want to be known
But I don't at the same time.
I'm trapped and I don't know what to do.
