Quiet

It's just that I talk a lot

Should I keep quiet ?

I'd seal my lips,

Then would it be alright ?

Thinking that I should laugh

a lot, to hide my frown,

still I'm afraid of thoughts

a fear of getting torn.

I should then fake my smile,

to hide my agony and pain.

I should quiet myself,

To stop those, melting in vain.
