Andrea USoft spoken and meek
Because over you I do not speak
Falseness I do not seek
I can assure you though, I am not weakI express quietly so you say I am wrong
You express loudly and you say you are strong
This unrealistic view goes on for how long?
Society can change, but no it’s too headstrongFor me everything is internal
For you it’s all external
What does it matter, we both spiral
Can’t we live in harmony? C’mon let’s make this viralVoting is open!

Andrea, too many people assume that the loud ones are strong and the quiet ones are weak, but in my experience, the opposite is often true. Those who are brave enough to stay quiet in the face of chaos are often stronger than anyone gives them credit for. Thank you for inspiring me and sharing this lovely poem!
