Diffident

Shy And Quiet

By L.I.EPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

Don’t disturb my thoughts

I will not be forced to talk

First I will listen

Figure out if I want to talk or not

Internally I freeze up

Despite my efforts, a word don’t come out

Every minute I am silent, my thoughts are not

Not in the mood to share my opinions and speak

Trying to change me from being an introvert is weak

Acrostic
