I am known to most as a quiet man
because I don’t talk a lot.
I am quiet wherever I go,
friends will testify to that.
I am very quiet spoken
and many times I’ve been told
to speak up a little louder.
I am afraid it’s just the way I am.
I’ve never been a shouter,
nor am I a screamer.
I am a placid person
who does not like arguments.
I’d rather walk away
to avoid any confrontation.
I like to sit alone at times
and not be one of the crowd.
I am not anti-social
as I like people
of all backgrounds and races
and will readily talk to everyone.
I’ve known some to be jealous of me
because of who I am,
even try to turn people against me
with lies and innuendos.
I have always forgiven them,
which they cannot fully understand.
I cannot say I am perfect
as no human being ever is.
What I can say is I’m quiet
who holds out his hands in friendship
for anyone to take hold
knowing I’ll always be there.
Excellent! There are many like you, but not all can describe themselves so splendidly as you have done. A great poem. Kudos.
