A Quiet Man

I am known to most as a quiet man because I don’t talk a lot. I am quiet wherever I go, friends will testify to that. I am very quiet spoken and many times I’ve been told to speak up a little louder. I am afraid it’s just the way I am. I’ve never been a shouter, nor am I a screamer. I am a placid person who does not like arguments. I’d rather walk away to avoid any confrontation. I like to sit alone at times and not be one of the crowd. I am not anti-social as I like people of all backgrounds and races and will readily talk to everyone. I’ve known some to be jealous of me because of who I am, even try to turn people against me with lies and innuendos. I have always forgiven them, which they cannot fully understand. I cannot say I am perfect as no human being ever is. What I can say is I’m quiet who holds out his hands in friendship for anyone to take hold knowing I’ll always be there.
