I know I may seem bold
but why do you look at me like
you expect me to react
my mind, it counteracts
I’m quieter on the inside
much quieter on the inside
put down that megaphone
don’t act like a god setting rules in stone
take a stack of books
and compare yourself to those who wrote them
this plate is getting cold
did you listen when I told you not to dip your mind in gold
you’re so much more valuable when
you’re quieter on the inside
so much quieter on the inside
