Quiet


I'm quiet.

I'm afraid to share my opinions.

Afraid I'll be wrong,

Afraid I'll offend someone.

My thoughts are a jumbled mess,

My thoughts could cause damage.

Those who don't know me think I'm shy,

Or aloof,

Or just rude.

But that's not the truth.

I'm mostly quiet because there's enough going on in my head.

I'm loud enough already.
