Be Quiet
be quiet now
I say to myself
be quiet and small
and don't let anyone hear
what your thinking
because no one will like it
and you don't want to listen to their talking back
about how you're not okay
so instead
I'll just sit here
and argue with myself
about not letting people think
that I'm insane
