Introvert

I feel detached from the world An outsider looking in Too busy deep in thought My fist rest upon my chin I think upon a deeper level To analyze this life I like to spend my time alone Quiet, far from strife I do not like to venture out of my comfort zone I do not mind being with people, but prefer to be alone Crowds and attention bring to me embarrassment and stress I’d much rather be at home is something I must confess It is often hard to share feelings I have inside I am often quiet and lock them up to hide I may even seem boring and look a little dry But if I open up to you, I’m a very interesting guy I often like to slow things down and have some time to think Because I know that life will pass as quickly as a blink I often ponder the things that are troubling my mind Sometimes I wanna get away and leave the world behind I build up walls so I can create my own new reality One where I am comfortable with my own sense of normality But sometimes I wish to break these walls that act just like a cage Step outside my comfort zone; Have others to engage But I lack the skills to do so; often make things awkward Fumble upon my words; yet again I’ve faltered Maybe there will come a day where I become an extrovert But for now I enjoy my lonely world as an introvert
