Consider That! Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

You find it hurtful that you go unnoticed because you’re reticent and not
loud and gregarious.
But being somewhat reticent and retiring is often becoming.
People who are loquacious are usually looked on as being churlish.
Consider that!
I’m loudmouthed and I usually shoot off something irrelevant without
thinking.
Often people open their mouths only to say something unimportant.
But, I have this friend whose brain - I can literally see turn in reflection -
before she answers a question. People may not like her style. But all of us know that her views are really worth listening to.
