"The Quiet Type"

Mysterious, gentle, bashful, sweet, and shy.

these are the things I see in those we call the "quiet type".

I, for one, was made quite loud with a bubbly, confident joy,

which is good some people say, but others don't employ.

"You hurt my head" one might say while covering his ears,

others claim it's just a game, and I should have no fears.

Should I change?

I want to ask while eyeing these beautiful "quiet types",

They seem so perfect and aloof!

If only I could imitate and no longer be a goof!

"But that's not me" I want to scream! I'm not aloof at all!

God made me just who I am:

confident, pure, bubbly, lovely, loud, and tall!!!

So for those who'd like to say that I happened to hurt their ears:

Your comments will not change me, that job is not yours.

And I'd like to say before I go, with all sincerity in my heart:

God has made me just as I am; I am HIS work of art!
