Can't Shake It Off
by M. Gorgas-Cahill
Can't Shake It Off
I look at my feet
I look at the sky
I look down the street
Would you like to know why?
I can’t look at you
I can’t even speak
It’s because I am new
I just got here last week.
Everyone’s friends
With everyone but me
My accent offends
I should go back to Paree.
But ce n’est pas possible
Je dois rester ici
Toujours invisible
Si loin de Paris.
