People ask me why I’m so quiet;
Sometimes it’s seen as being defiant.
I simply seek peace in the silence.
It is the only way I can achieve balance.
I don’t waste my breath on irrelevance.
My words aren't always necessary
When you can see them in my expression.
I can hear better when I don’t speak.
It allows me to process, allows me to think
And opens me up to others with thoughts unique.
