A Sam Scott poem:
8th September 2023
-----

 

Listen to poem:
It's time I was more vocal Only so much time I can spend With people, my friend I love my humans Don't mishear I love a curry or casual beer But over-load.. It comes too quick On over-dose; a switch does click I yawn, I scratch Just take the hint Or let my shiny watch-strap glint Your presence, Though I love you dearly Has over-stayed it's welcome, clearly I may be rude So spare me that And grab your scarf, your coat, your hat I'll write a poem When you're gone Plonk piano keys; some solemn song Plug me in to time alone Recharge me Through nature's pasture roam My soul needs S p a c e To call it's own Hear birds and angels; Stillness caress Not lonely in my alone-ness Once I'm fixed It won't take long I'll skip towards you with a song I'll listen, care And be that friend Who's right there for you, without end

Im sorry but as an introvert this resonate so much that im literally left in stitches laughing. Haha omg i especially love “ your presence though i love you dearly has overstayed! Hahah i literally feel so exhausted when i interact with friends or when they stay over . Gosh space is necessary and its so overwhelming, you’ve described it wll just seamlessly! One of my faves!

Well, we are obviously not alone! Introverts are the new extroverts.. people love us until we get grumpy. Stay re-charged my friend.. and very grateful for your so kind comments :))

The older I get the more I need to recover with time alone. God bless you, Sam!

Same, Kim. I do love my friends though (in case any are reading this!). I guess there are very special ones who break all the 'introvert rules' too. They deserve their own poem. Thank you x

Haha Sam. Careful not to burn bridges. Though sometimes a measure of space is needed. Nice poem
