Introvert

I see you standing there Hiding from the crowd You say the world's too big You say the world's too loud I reach out my hand And put yours in mine To pull you out into The whirlwind of life Life is full of crazy There is no life that's plain Life would just be boring If everyone was sane. You gotta let the beast Out of its cage You gotta be crazy You gotta be brave I know you have your own World in your head Maybe you might like The outside world instead I'm not trying to say That I understand I want you to know I'm reaching out my hand Life is full of crazy There is no life that's plain Life would just be boring If everyone was sane. You gotta let the beast Out of its cage You gotta be crazy you gotta be brave I know you find life Hard to be around I can't let you hide Six feet underground if you want to try To try and take a chance Step outside your walls Let go and join the dance Cuz... Life is full of crazy There is no life that's plain Life would just be boring If everyone was sane. You gotta let the beast Out of its cage You gotta be crazy You gotta be brave I see you standing there Hiding from the crowd You say the world's too big You say the world's too loud Life is full of crazy There is no life that's plain Life would just be boring If everyone was sane.

Hi Heather! A wonderful poem! I consider myself an introvert. Though not a shy one. Yes we do exist....introverts that are not shy. We tippy-toe into the world. Embrace its insanity. And retreat to rejuvenate. Our constitution simply does not allow us to re-energize while in the midst of the turmoil. But we so love the turmoil! And thanks to people like you, there is always a welcoming hand to urge us on. Keep writing and keep embracing your extroverted life;) Peace...Sam

Thank you for your kind words!! I wrote this about a friend of mine who is an introvert, I always have to talk him into doing stiff, but when he finally lets go he has fun.

I like the way Jimmy Buffet said it. If we weren't all crazy we would all go insane. Kind of splitting hairs, but it kind of allows us to not have to be completely out there. It's nice to be sane after the crazy. :) Keep reaching out your hand. Peace. :)
