Different People, Different Personalities
There's different people with different personalities that make up who they are
Different experiences and choices that left untold scars
You have people who are introverted and or extroverted in association
Some give direct eye contact and others look away in conversation
There are those who are very opinionated while others fight battles from within
For some it takes alot to push their buttons while others are thin skin
The spotlight is very much desired by some while others feel a bit shy
You have those who just do what their told but others who ask why
You have those who break laws and would step on people's feelings
When it comes to helping other's you have those who are willing
We're different in race, height, weight and color
Some raised in families and others by a single mother
Many live on social media while others want privacy
Some live carefree while others die from anxiety
All these different personalities making up a generation
While having similar feelings and emotions in every nation
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology
Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted
My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my honey's being a bit facetious
But I love her a bunch just the same
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
Just a fun loving guy who enjoys life
They also say I'm very broad-minded
Love broads but don't tell my wife
Extroverted
Ebullient, my outgoing self is like an
X-ray of my innermost
Thoughts. I enjoy taking the
Risk that I am putting myself
Out there for others to
View my soul. I expect
Everyone to share my life while they
Resign
Themselves to listening to me fancy myself
Erudite on every subject, exposing my
Demons and dilemmas
“I want to be alone… with someone else who wants to be alone.” – Dimitri Zaik
I was born an introvert,
misplaced in an extroverted garden.
Mother's cocoon,
which once kept me safe and warm,
now left me exposed to
green-eyed predators,
who stole my fluorescent fragility.
Is it any wonder that in adolescence,
my heart resembles red glass,
which can shatter at the slightest betrayal,
bleeding in crushing, harlequin drops.
In between the silence of heartbeats,
there was a demonic darkness,
plaguing the scent of my honeysuckle aura—
making me feel an imperfection of ugliness.
Until a vision of a celestial silhouette,
appeared in evergreen ethereal tones.
His smile glistened like tender
pearls of white, seducing
my senses speechless.
I am like a drop of rain upon
his petals of orchid glory.
I know there will be monsoon seasons,
erratic elements harassing my presence,
among his poetic prestige,
yet, I yearn to be
the one,
who is forever enthroned by
his emerald eminence.

Stop being pretender to paramount
care for not be so rude
don't act too crooked
and being stupid and introspective
superior is being simpler,
extroverted
than a villain... !
Indigo Vibrancy
Extroverted from the green
Soft spikes speaking out
My solitude, -when I am able to
discover it – how wonderful to me
it is and not so difficult to do.
I find it as I’m writing poetry.
Right now I write with sunshine on my face.
But I could be inside my house; there is
no difference. I feel a kind of grace
when God inspires me, and that grace is His.
An extroverted introvert, I find
my solitude quite easily, for I
see past distractions. Thoughts come to my mind.
They then take shape, like clouds form in the sky!
God, give me grace again and then again -
that poetry might pour from me like rain!

Oh, my soul,
Why do you always go to pluck that fruit?
Why do you always judge on good and evil?
Why do you always appeal to the intellect?
Why do you always please the senses?
Why are you so arrogant and proud?
Why do you command and dominate?
Why are your traduces crude and rude?
Why are your actions ill mannered and inconsiderate?
Why be loud, boastful, talkative and opinionated?
Why be insecure and afraid?
Why be intimidated and inhibited?
Why be introverted and extroverted?
Critical, judgemental, condescending and condemning!
So self-sufficient, self-reliant, self-motivating, self-seeking –
So much into self-love, self-adoration, self-idolatry, self-worship –
Oh my soul, my selfish soul?
Sometimes I would like to be a hermit,
live in solitude in the woods,
away from clamor and distraction,
with quiet to think and write.
Then I remember that I am
an extroverted people person:
I would not last three days
with no one to talk to,
not a month without a party.
I read about the ornamental garden hermits
in 18th century England,
housed in artificial caves on the estates,
paid to be on exhibit and to give
sage advise to visitors –
which sounds like the worst of both worlds.
Maybe I can be a weekend hermit?
On My Soapbox Again
By: Tom Wright
3/27/2006
A lot has been made
Concerning my comfort zone.
I’m told that I must leave that place
In order to grow in God’s work,
We were not made to all be alike,
Only in his image,
We each have differing personalities,
Some introverted and some are extroverted.
God also gave us talents of different stripes.
Others have expended great amounts of time
Trying to move me from where I am,
To where “they” know God would like me to be.
Perhaps when time is of age
God will cease telling others his plans for me
And just inform me.
my mind is else where
distracted
a misplaced focus.
this happens when you're plate is full.
when you care for someone who is ill
life stop's.
those individual things like future plans
goals
dreams
happiness
wishes
all change.
it's all about the person you are caring for.
also true is that caregiving comes with no handbook.
spendind time in the ER
intensive care
Dialysis
you name it I have been there,I could be my local Hospital's concierge I know it so well.
over time you become resilient and resourceful
and if it's not in you're nature to be extroverted too bad you will be,you have no choice,you learn to hustle to get support
the advocates
Doctors
Nurses
Medicad
medicare
healthcare
know the who's and the why's
it's not easy
would not wish it on my worst enemy.
I'm humbled
I have humility,but I also carry anger,it's hard not to take this personnel
but it's not about me
it is about the one you love.
I'm logical about my passion
And passionate about my logic
I am shy and friendly
I am an extroverted introvert
I'm an intellectual who loves media glitz
I am a homebody who craves date nights outings
I'm an isolated observer of human nature
I'm an industrious couch potato
I'm a bohemian who requires a structured lifestyle
I'm a despairing romantic
Optimism and pessimism continue to crowd me
I am human...
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of the Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology
Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted
My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my honey's being a bit facetious
But I love her a bunch just the same
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
Just a fun loving guy who enjoys life
They also say I'm very broad-minded
Love broads but don't tell my wife!
