Quiet

What's the perfect balance
Between yelling too much
Or not yelling enough
So that people don't walk over you?
Is it a crime to just want to be nice?
To avoid confrontation 
And show everyone a little respect?

Time after time
I find that I'm struggling
To tell you 
What's burning inside
A glimmer of hope 
That you'll finally see..
Yet I remain quiet. 




Natalie Weiss is one of my all time favourite performers. She adds so much emotion into everything she sings and never fails to give me goosebumps. The first couple of bars of this song describe my feelings at almost every point in my life. In my case it's more family related, though. There are some things just better left unsaid, I suppose.
