Feeling quiet

Caring dove

You stand around others 

saying hello 

they say hello back 

but apart from that they say nothing 

you feel shy 

you feel quiet 

you don’t feel confident 

or talkative 

so you walk out of the room 

and they continue talking to each other 

 

sometimes you feel like a little child again 

who for some reason or other 

is struggling to talk to people 

feels on the outside a little 

 

and that’s how your feeling at times 

and it’s not your fault if they don’t say much ti you 

not your fault if you feel you have nothing to say 

 

sometimes you don’t feel like talking to some people , anyway 

and you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it

    Hello is the first line of defense, it is the code word of recognition to pass the wall after that one must scale the the walls and break down the doors and that is not an easy task. To have the doors open you must be recognized and accepted as friend. A raw and powerful write
