I'm Quiet

Too Busy Thinking

I’m quiet because my mind is not

It’s too busy thinking about what the next move going to be

Or listening and comprehending what people are saying

It doesn't have time to come up with words to say while doing everything else

So I’m quiet because I'm always focused

Sometimes zoned out or sometimes really zoned in

Both require brain power that can’t be used for speaking

So most of the time I’m silent

Speak when spoken to

But while someone is speaking I'm quiet

It's easy to interrupt me when I'm am talking

Because I will go mute so fast and start to listen

Go on for hours and hours you won't hear a peek out of me

Group conversations I am silent listening to what everybody else is saying

Keeping my opinion to myself

Don't ask why you didn't say anything

Because you were too busy talking is always going to be my answers

Don’t yell and say speak up because that going to further put me in my head

And keep me silent

I'm quiet and sometimes people who not annoys the hell out of me, especially when they force you to speak, and get mad when you don’t.
