Quiet

I am not a quiet person,
so if words are halted
somewhere in the apex of my lungs
or energy is girdled in my rib cage,
refusing to resonate with the beats of my heart,
there is something wrong
and i need you to know the difference between
how i am
and
how i should be

Really nicely expressed. Great job with this. It leaves the reader wondering the reasons and the outcome.
