Quiet Ode

I was sidelined for being demure and quiet.

I expressed my thoughts around the dark confines of an empty room.

All my hidden thoughts are secretly preserved in that room.

In this world, you have to express to get noticed.

I suffered as I lacked the art of expressing.

I was considered as a symbol of weakness and shyness.

I was written off as mentally retarded.

But they don't know that my heart is as strong as diamond.

I secretly work hard as I am always judged.

I am blessed to have gone through tough times,

As it made me mentally strong.

Multiple failures are essential to know the importance of failure in life.

Predicaments are no longer frightening

Anxieties are no longer tiring.

I realized we can even express our thoughts through writing.

I am clearly on the path to success amidst all the chaos.
