the nights you call lonely are the nights i spend reading and writing and drawing and loving my own company i enjoy dreaming of possibilities and laying in complete silence you see, my mind is so loud louder than the party you're at tonight and for me that is enough i balance it out by being quiet, by producing shambles of poetry and endless jumbles of words to try and understand that it is okay to love the silence and the mystery of who i am you find yourself in bright lights and loud music i find myself in the dark we have been afraid of our whole lives it is the darkness and the silence that make you so scared of us but we are simply introverts trying to fit into a world made for you while you are dancing your heart out ours are pounding in pride as we proofread our writing for the 100th time your open arms and our open minds embrace in harmony you see, i started writing us instead of me because i know i am not alone on these nights you call lonely i call lovely
