Don't mistake my soft-spoken nature
for weakness
or fear.

I seek a more exquisite truth
than can be offered
by words alone.

Though not gregarious,
I am a leader.
Quiet
and strong,
with an arsenal of powerful thoughts.

I am a quiet star,
humble in the sky.
Small at first glance,
but so
much
more.
