Big Mouth, little words MAG

I NEVER MET SOMEONE
WHO COULD TALK SO LOUD
AND YET SPEAK SO SOFTLY
I COULD BARELY HEAR.
I … like … never … um … met … someone …
who … could … uh … think … so … much …
and … like … say … hmm … so … little …
that … I … er … saw … no … point … to … it …
!!!I!!!never!!!met!!!someone!!!
?who?could?use?tons?of?punctuation?
!?and!?express!?no!?emotion!?
… it … sounded … like … m-o-n-o-t-o-n-e …
I never met someone
who could fake it so well
and fail so miserably
that I stopped believing.
DidYOUum!!!hear
that?

My writing carries my emotions. My voice carries calm that is fake. My words are only what need to be heard. I'm not a big fan of letting emotions go through my voice or face. -This is a good poem and something i could see in a poetry or children's book. Awesome!
