drowning in my thoughts.

lost in the shadows.

I was always the quiet girl in the corner, hidden behind her glasses and wavy blonde hair. I never spoke my mind to you, for I was always unheard. You dimmed my light by talking over me, and ignoring me. You made me a shadow, a ghost, invisible. You never saw my kind soul, my forgiving heart, and my strong mind. You never even tried to be my friend. Who wants a quiet person as a friend? You wanted someone that was loud, outgoing, and funny to keep you company. My voice might have been quiet, but my brain was always screaming. And while being nearly invisible to you left a scar on my heart, it also built me up to become the person I am today. I'm not the quiet girl in the corner anymore. I'm the vibrant woman in the middle of the f***ing room. I still don't speak my mind using my voice, for I will forever have the fear of being unheard. I express my feelings, opinions, and deepest thoughts through writing and hope that someone will understand the way I think since you could not.
