Shh, I'M Hiding From Stupid People

I'm scared to express myself, 
Because the world might find me weird, 
But in fact I'm not timid. 
If I avoid contact with people, 
It doesn't mean I'm disconnected with the world, 
It means I'm not interested! 
When books ornament my hands all day long, 
Don't conclude me as a book worm, 
It means I want to wander in my own world! 
If I spend most of my time with nature and talk with animals, 
It's not that I'm mad, 
It means they are better than rest of the world! 
If you find me talking less 
Or find a situation to search me in the frame, 
If you always find me missing, 
Please don't search for me and remember I'm not escaping, 
You can only hear single answer from me, 
	'shh, I'm hiding from stupid people! '

Beata Agustin August 14, 2024 at 5:40 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
