Be Yourself

 Silence.
A room full of people
Chattering loudly over one another,
Yet I can't say a word.
My voice speaks,
Yet I am silent
For the words aren't mine,
They're what everyone else wants to hear. 

A smart person would say,
"Let loose, have fun."
But I'm not a smart person.
I don't talk much.
I don't know how to be nice. 
In my mind I keep thinking,
"When did I stop being me?"
