Poem

Quiet

       

A quiet room

A quiet girl

A quiet life

She screams

This is not her

This is not her

But no one knows

"You're so quiet"

They all say

So mature

So responsible

Organized

Calm and confident

That's why we like you

A quiet girl in a quiet room

With a quiet voice

The clutter builds around her

She waits another day

Tomorrow it will be easier to clean

Tomorrow it will be easier to be me

But it's always today

That's why we like you

That's what they say

We like you for you

She smiles

They like her for her

Because she's quiet

And mature

And responsible

Organized

And calm

And confident

Soon she doesn't know

Where the lie ends

Where does she begin

Where did she go

Who is she

A quiet girl trapped in a quiet lie
