title: "i'm just quiet not shy"


"people say im shy,
but i'm not.
i'm just quiet.
people don't know i'm fine,
but i am. i'm just quiet.
they just don't know me,
people don't think i care,
but i do. i'm just quiet.
people think i think i'm too good for them,
i really don't. i'm just quiet.
it's not that hard to figure out,
people think i'm stuck up,
but i'm not.i'm just quiet.
people think i'm slow,
nope. i'm just quiet.
people think i'm dumb,
i don't think i am. i'm just quiet.
people think i don't have feelings,
your wrong. i'm just quiet.
you have no idea do you?
people think i don't have fun,
are you kidding me?!
i do! i'm just quiet.
people think i'm scared,
i'm not. i'm just quiet.
people think i'm depressed,
i'm not. i'm just quiet.
please don't look at me and judge right off the bat.
please don't think that i'm just a silent loner who doesn't care about anything,
because i care very much,
so, please understand that i do have friends and if you'd let me talk
with you, you'll find that we'll be friends too.
please know that i'm not slow, dumb or that i just don't care,
i have just as many feelings as you, and i can be just as fun and crazy as you.
i'm just quiet. yUp! thats me. ;) i'm just quiet NOT shy." please just be patient with me. i'll get there. lemme adjust. give me a chance, calm down please don't get frustrated.
wait for it..."
