MY VIRTUE

My Virtue

By the virtue of my mind

I realize I’m not your kind

I stay all still and calm

My character you cannot fawn

I’ll stay in the shadows

Hidden from the fearsome crowd

People around me start to swarm

I lock my room in the dorm

I eat silently as they chatter

What they speak did never matter

I’m not damaged in any way

It’s your thoughts which are Fay

Deep down, I know I’m really happy

You may perceive that my life is crappy

I’ll smile when I’m all alone

I have no more sins to atone

The beauty of my actions is not known

Because no one knows me in this town

I’ll stay wherever I want to

My heart always guides my lonely self

Your hurtful words have scarred me deep

I fear of what to decide on when to speak

I’ve lost all the confidence in myself

My answers are all made in haste and distress

I’m about to join a job I may despise

In search of friends who’ll help me revise

What am I to do in such a strange place?

Can I ever compete in this rat race?
