Please don't ask me!

Too scared to say boo
Too scared to make a peep
If I don't understand you
It will just have to keep!


I look down when you ask for
Answers I cannot seem to give
I will not meet your eyes Sir
I just want to leave!


Please don't ask me to say a word
I am too scared to utter any sound
If I should get it wrong, they'll laugh
Ans I'll feel like I've been stabbed!


I shrink down within myself
I try not to move at all
I'm like a frightened rabbit
My heart is pounding but I'm stunned!


Please don't ask me
Don't peer at me so steely eyed
Don't scrutinize and stare
Please just allow me to bide


Forgive me for my cowardice
Please ignore my pale and frightened face
Don't even look my way
Don't target my space!


I look down when you ask for
Answers I cannot hope to give
'Tis my fear that chokes me
And I can hardly breathe!


So please don't ask me!
Please don't ask me!
Please don't ask me!
Please don't ask me!
