The musings of a Vilma.

My name is Vilma. I'm a strategic planner in a digital ad agency and a graduate of the University of Florida. I also played in the bands Sweet City Action and Oh Fortuna, am an orchestral violinist, and I book shows in my spare time to raise money for good causes.

The World is Getting Louder

Do I have to be loud

To be heard among the proud?

I give you my neutral glance

But really I just want a chance

So why don’t I shout?

Isn’t that the quickest route?

I roll my eyes at the ones who talk so much

Just because I don’t, they think I’m out of touch

I choose my words and timing carefully

While you speak loud and doubtfully

But don’t think I lack a dominant ability

I just maintain my credibility.

Don’t view me as meek

People hush when I speak

I only say things when I mean it

And I never do quit it

Don’t get me wrong

I do want to sing this song

But don’t waste your words

Like twittering song birds

They’ll mean more in moderation

People will take you into consideration

So I hope you understand

Just give me your hand

And we’ll be quiet together.
