Analysis of A Quiet One



We all know about the quiet ones,
Bold introverts,
Don’t need the clique,
Don’t need the likes,
Don’t need the credit,
Don’t need the hype,
Humble; so quiet,
Just writes to keep calm,
Writes to avoid depression,
Writes to avoid stresses,
Hardly speaks,
Some would be so judgmental about a quiet one,
Quite the contrary; if only the book was read,
Decades in and still; ongoing foul judgements,
Still judging a book by cover,
Never will find out until you’ve read for yourself,
Didn’t the title read Look Out For The Quiet Ones,
Now another loud mouth had to be put in place.✍
