  • Small

    When I was small. I was really small.
    I wasn't allowed to be tall.
    I was taught to hide.
    I was taught to be quiet.
    I was taught to agree.

    Small

    I was small. 
    The older I got, the smaller I became.
    I got good at being small,
    Small and quiet.

    I was so good at being
    small and quiet
    that by highschool
    I was
    Invisible.

    Eventually I got so good at being invisible
    I couldn't see myself.
    Invisible and lost.
