I'm quiet and soft

small and all smiles

gentle handshakes

and deep blushes

 

That's me around new people

 

I speak my mind

loudly to anyone who listens

as many times as it takes

to get somewhere

 

That's me to those who are cruel.

 

I read silently

many nights in my room

my computer glowing

alone but never lonely

 

That's me by myself.

 

Loud to rivals

quiet to new people

content when alone

 

That's me.
