The Quiet Person

The Quiet Person sits, in a room of people

No one to talk to, no one acknowledged by

Although not alone in body, still alone in mind

The Quiet Person sits alone, catching no ones eye

The Quiet Person might seem dull, depressed or sad

But she is feeling

She feels the glares, the stares, the disgusted looks and misunderstandings

The Quiet Person does have feelings

The Quiet Person might look like a loner, free spirit or a one-man show

But perhaps deep inside, she feels something more

She feels misunderstood, unliked by all

The Quiet Person wants more than being shown to the door

The Quiet Person cries out, desiring to know

Why the glares and stares are thrown her way

She begs and pleads, trying to make sense

 The Quiet Person suffers, in her own deep way

The Quiet Person comes home and comtemplates

"What is wrong?" "Is it me?" she ponders in her head

"What have I done, to be so misread?"

The Quiet Person just desire acceptance, not to be overlyread.

The Quiet Person takes to her knees

Where she should have gone before

She tells of her troubles, mockings and hurts

To the One who cares about her so much more

yes the great struggle of those who live in the shutters of a half closed physche ; half- closed to their own way
of making them to the world yet fully open to those hurled curses insults sneers jeers jesting vying for nonsensical attention well i say throw yourself to that that makes you strong for God is great and will guide you on your way stay from those that will hurt or hinder make busy your mind with all those exciting enthralling things let yourself grow and so things will be so much sweeter

yes let us celebrate the quiet ones because they have strength beyond measure Amen:-}

I love it! I feel this way sometimes also! maybe not so much with the glares, but with the feeling alone in a room full of people, I've know most of my life.
