When I say something
No one understands.
They may think I am stupid
But they actually can’t get it.
When I try to make friends
They don’t know half of what I say.
They don’t seem to like my way;
They are just friends with whom I play.
I am most of the time lonely;
My friends don’t seem to remember me.
They forget that I exist
When their other friends come in the list.
Not everyone is like this,
Some are loyal to me.
In my way they pretend to see,
They are very nice to me.
Others think I am in my own world,
But in reality I’m very alert.
I listen to every single thing
But still they opine on me.
I want people to teach me,
Only if they talked nicely.
Just because I am younger
Doesn’t mean they should behave rudely.
Great philosophical thoughts
Get forwarded everywhere,
But when I say the same thing
They don’t seem to ever hear.
I hope people are friendly with me
And treat me as an individual,
Because in my whole life
That’s all I will ever yearn.
