Behind my Curtain

Quiet and shy, is how they see me,

but, is that who I am really?

Oh yes, there are things that they do not know,

thre are may things I choose not to show.

 

I am actualy quite talkativ when the setting is right,

I say what is relevant to say, with a wisecrack or two.

Sure, I looked reserved and deep in though,

but that's because I'm more aware and perceptive than others.

If anything, it would be lethal to underestimate me in a game,

because before you know it, you would have already lost.

And I'm actually quite mischievous, and playful indeed,

It would surprise others who don't know the real me.

 

But yes, I hold my true self back,

too focused in school and still somewhat shy.

I am introverted, so that's how it is,

but if you're a true friend,

you'll see that side,

which only those who are close,

 can see that true side.
