you taught me to talk less
better seen and not heard
you went so far as to tell me
that people would take me more seriously
if I spoke less
because it would imply that any time I do talk
it must be important
for me to break my silence
it's always the quiet ones
who are perceived as smart
and as having things worth saying
yet somehow
ever since you've told me this
my pen hasn't left my hand
