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
