I Use To Be the Loud One
April 26, 2013
I use to be eccentric and loud.
But now I am quiet and feel hidden.
I always am shy.
But I never go up to random people just to say “Hi”.
I once jumped up and down at the sight of strangers.
But now I look down and keep walking.
If I could not be shy.
I would talk to everyone.
I never am the one to talk first.
But I might talk to you later.
I can’t keep myself under silence for long.
But I can return to my normal self.
I won’t run and cry.
But I might whisper a little.
I used to be loud,
but now I’m not.
