    Lang Leav
    “Shrinking in a corner,
    pressed into the wall;
    do they know I'm present,
    am I here at all?

    Is there a written rule book,
    that tells you how to be—
    all the right things to talk about—
    that everyone has but me?

    Slowly I am withering—
    a flowered deprived of sun;
    longing to belong to—
    somewhere or someone.”
