Do Nothing that is Possible


I am quiet like a person with the tape on.

But I am a person with the tape on.

I am stupid and vulger to the people around me.

When it's to time to speak up, I just quiet and let the people deal with the problem.

I stay quiet while they compromise something, which I cannot.

I cannot for the rest of my life.

Only them, not me.

When it's time to speak up, I did not get up nor say anything.

I just sit down and be quiet until the time runs out. 

I die, of course.

<p>I related this to some people in real life. It had some truths in their lives,</p><p>but not accurracy. Without trying to speak up, I stayed quiet at the right time</p><p>at the public school. There was always a timethat people,</p><p>the same exact people said what they must say and others stayed quiet</p><p>during their talk. It happened a lot in small and large classes.</p><p>It occurred the same feeling at anywhere else for someone,</p><p>who do not experience school as their main goals in life.</p>
