do you think of those who sit alone
who take a book only just to look
those who are quiet, stay silent and won't deny it
those who watch and watch as the world around them fails to be top notch
what do these people think?
how do they talk?
do they step on the lines or in the squares on the sidewalk?
1,2,3.. they sprint to seven
they touched the squares, tired, are they weak?
do they question why there are seven days in a week?
but they fear to speak
for if they do they are called a geek
the quiet ones,
stay mute to stay golden
for if you begin to talk your words might be stolen
your ideas be taken
and you're only left to be shaken
you can't stand up for yourself you are weak!
you may think, it's the middle of the day there's no need to sneak
unless you're a quiet one afraid to be seen
afraid to be picked on by some unkindly fiend
stick to the shadows you'll be okay
you know all your fears were just as quiet one day
