Scary

when did I stop being nice
and became "scary"
was it when I started correcting others' grammar, other than just my friends?
or was it when I found my voice, am I talking too loud?
is my pushing people away too forceful, too pronounced?
instead of the weakness I am trying to hide, do they see cruelty that isn't there?
I never thought people would believe the front I put up so thoroughly
maybe I am too forward, too present.
I think it is time I sat back
and stayed quiet.
