As people aren't really talking about the poem anymore, I'll post another one. I'd appreciate some poetic feedback on this rather than just random discussion.

The Quiet One

I'm the quiet one,
I just get ignored.
I'm the good one,
I'm not interesting enough to draw attention.

I'm the normal one,
I can't stand out.
I'm the tidy one,
I can't be nagged at.

Everyday I'm just passed by.
Everyday I just get pats on the back,
And a belated "Well done",
Everyday the same.

But there's more to me,
Than the quiet one,
More than just a boring face.
Look at me everybody!

I can slit my wrists!

I'm not the quiet one anymore,
I scream out in pain.
I feel faint and fall to the floor.
I'm the quiet one no more.

No more to be ignored,
No more to be passed over,
Well, maybe just once more.
I'll always be remembered,

As the quiet one who went wrong.
