Silent but Lively

The shy kids in the back of class
hiding behind
timid hellos
meek smiles
stay in the shadows
and we'll be alright.

Words bounce off our silhouettes
but we wear our hearts on our sleeves
we take comfort in our own darkness
for you will find we reside
you call us dead quiet
we say we're living quietly.

Behind these walls
that I and many others
have made there are hidden talents
and words unspoken.

For we are made
in the dark
and we bloom
just the same
just because we don't thrive like you
doesn't mean we're insane.

Because we are human
at the end of it all
not all of us need light
to come alive
and flower
just like you do.
