No one can ever be certain of what someone else is thinking, of what they’re going through, or of how they feel.
I’m in the car on a 16 hr drive to Jacksonville, Fl with my boss on a work/vacation trip. So…figured I’d have a little time for a post 😉
“Quiet people have the loudest minds.”
-Stephen King
For the quiet ones
He’s quiet but
If you could hear his thoughts
You’d go deaf
He’s quiet but
Maybe there’s endless thoughts
And nowhere to start
He’s standoffish but
Maybe he’s afraid to get close
Or simply doesn’t know how
Maybe she doesn’t have your confidence
Nor your beaming features
She may not fit in but
She doesn’t look as small as she feels
And some parts of herself
She’s afraid to reveal
Who knows what news she’s been told
Or why she feels the way she does
Not your or me
She doesn’t talk–so what?
He’s quiet in class but
It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want friends
Maybe he’s never learned how
It may seem like arrogance but
Maybe there’s a hollowness inside
Made by insecurities
Eating him alive
He doesn’t say much but
Maybe he sees too much and
Maybe it leaves him speechless
“There’s this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around, then there’s the quiet one, the eye of the storm.”
-Amy Efaw, After

I love being a quiet one….makes people wonder what you are thinking and then when you speak (and in your case write)…people listen. Have good week.

some nights i feel like the silence is so deafening. the feeling of emptiness feels so heavy. and i have this whirlpool of thoughts, bothering me mostly at night. i can’t tell what’s going on in my head, but music helps. :–)

Nights like that can be the worst. Knowing they’re coming is such a dreadful feeling. Music does help, especially music that helps u better understand what’s going on inside.
Then again, those nights can inspire our more creative selves. I’m sure u know that though 🙂
