Who I Am

              I am funny,
        hidden under veils of shyness.
      Many think I'm social and outgoing,
        But I'm an introvert.
  I can be alone in a room for many days,
  without getting bored or tired of being alone.
    Just give me what to eat and drink.
  More importantly make the place comfortable.

              As I'm older,
        I realise I need to mix.
      So, I form new friendships and socialize.
        I can't be an island,
  when my ambition is to compete at the top.
  No one gets to the peak without needing others.
    Hence, I court goodwill at all cost.
  without which I know I can't ever smell greatness
