My friend, the Schwa

There is an intresting boy at school
Call me a fool,
But it's like hes never there, 
Appearing out of thin air,

I hear rumors getting spread,
I could only believe what people said,
Until one day, 
The boy spoke to me,
Calvin was his name, 
And I couldn't believe,

I couldn't believe how sly he was,
Sneaking around not making a buzz,
Though he acted just like everyone,
And I thought that maybe we could have some fun,

We became friends and we hung out till we had to sleep,
I started noticing him more but sometimes still got the creeps,
He had this really interesting paper clip collection,
I wondered when he looked in the mirror, would he see his reflection?

Theres alot of things I pondered about this boy,
But something about him gave me a sense of joy,
He always was trying so hard to prove people wrong,
Even though he failed, he still stayed strong,

I will always know that Calvin is not invisible,
That he is real, and that is just a label.
