I may seem quiet to you
But I promise I'm not
I don't always talk, and I'm not always loud
But I promise I'm fun to be around
Once you get to know me
I try to be the best I can
But sometimes it's hard
Things are overwhelming
Things can seem hopeless
You might not know it by looking at me
But I'm dealing with a lot
And sometimes it gets the better of me
Sometimes I fall apart
And I can't bring myself out of that dark place as hard as I try
That's the real reason I'm quiet
My real self is trying to get out
Trying to exist outside of my head,
But she can't
Because I won't let her
The real reason that I'm quiet
Is because I'm scared that if I show you the real me
You won't like her.

I don't have much to tell you. I'm Nat, I'm 15, and I'm ridiculously boring
