Quiet and shy

Sometimes I think I should start caring about what people think of me. For a change, that is. Not that I would start pretending I was someone else, but I'm pretty sure I'd keep my god damned mouth shut more often. Sometimes it is pointless to speak. People don't understand. They cannot. They wouldn't want to, even if they could. For them, I'd always be some sort of alien. I should feign death, so to speak, and start making everyone think that I'm not alien, only a quiet, maybe shy one.


Most of my friends laugh if I tell them that I'm shy. If only they knew...
