so scared
what if I'm not good enough?
classified as "quiet"
when I am merely silent
so much to say
but can't seem to let it out
I retreat to my sanctuary
beatin by myself
here I stand again
as my eyes start to wander

I am alone
to no fault but my own
as I listen to the many words being said
my mind drifts
into another dimention
into a place that is all my own
I am alone
to no fault but my own

no one to judge my thoughts
because it is never said
no one to know what I feel
because it is never shown

I am simply here
I retreat to my quiet place
a place that is all my own
into my safe zone
afraid of what they'll say
but more afraid of what I'll say

I am alone
to no fault but my own
classified as "quiet"
when I am merely silent
