The Quiet Club

Why I'm So Quiet

My silence is sponsored.

I am sworn to secrecy.

I'm currently on standby,

so press "on" when you need me.

I'm permanently on mute.

I'm actually a spy.

I time travelled from the future,

so speaking could damage time.

I hate humans.

I'm constantly sad,

I'm just a really weird person,

so being quiet means I'm mad.

I say nothing due to trauma.

I'm just really dumb.

I'm actually just stupid,

so I speak to no one.

-

The truth is that there is no reason.
I'm quiet because I am.

-
People never say "Why are you so loud?"

because that conversation never began.

It's rude, condescending and not needed anyway,

so why is its counterpart totally okay?

-

I'll repeat.

-

The truth is that there is no reason.

I'm quiet because I am.

So I'll continue to sit there, not saying a single word and only listening in.

Just because I can.
