Introvert

I am not weird
Why should I follow you?
Nor am I rude
Just no need for pleasantries 

Beneath my hat
No anxiety under here
Processing life
At my own pace

Standing strong 
Yet holding back
I have much to share
Are you willing to listen?

I know the answer
I wish to look away
This may turn into something
Something more than I’m prepared to enjoy

You aren’t willing to see
If you only knew
I have much to share
You’re still not listening

I will retreat back
To my quiet place
The one where I recharge
That place

I contemplate on many things
There is so much that makes me real
Just give me the chance
And you will see 

You will see
the real me
