Special I Am Poem by Janet BredeauWhite

As “I Sit Alone”
Quiet but afraid
No one even knows
Scared to Socialize
‘Cause people are not aware
No one comes near
As “ I Sit Alone”
Are they scared
‘Cause I may be different
They laugh, point, sometimes stare
Are they doing it at “Me”
All I really want to do
Is have friends too
As “I Sit Alone”
Maybe if I could tell
It would help me get well
Unique “ I am”
Get confused, turned around
But my teacher leads the way
There are a few who will help me out
As “ I Sit Alone”
History is my thing, in class we are
They need my help can I be brave
The teacher calls on me
I shake as I stand
Bough my head as I speak
Done I am they clap
As “ I Sit Alone”
My classmates come over to me
As I pack my bag
They ask me to help them
We chat and carry on
Smile I do with my head held high
As I “Don’t” sit alone
