I was a real nerd when I was in grade school and I had no friends. Everyone seemed so goddamn perfect and wonderful, and I seemed to have no place in it. Back then I did not have the release of poetry to fall back on. However, in retrospect, I wrote this poem and presented it orally for my English class. Surprisingly, every single person in that room knew what I had felt.
