Quiet
I am the quiet one
I choose to stay quiet, but part of me wants to break free,
to say something,
but I stay quiet
All the questions that swim in my head,
I want to speak up,
but I stay quiet
everyday I think of all my questions that could have been answered,
but I know that it was me who chose to stay quiet.
It’s just this feeling of doubt before you speak,
It feels like whatever you say will be “wrong”.
It’s not something that I can really explain,
Sometimes, I contemplate on what it is that is holding me back,
I know that there are many other people like me,
Quiet, Independent, and awkward,
I guess it’s just part of my personality.
