I Only Sing Softly
July 9, 2012
I eat slowly around others to not disgust the perfect eaters,
I pray in my head to not upset those around me with my struggle,
I talk in a low voice so my peaceful life doesn't seem dull,
I say proper words to show my respect for the language,
I walk normally to not distress the higher living,
I dance lightly to show that I am clean cut unlike my true self,
I only sing softly so I do not disturb this manicured society.
