Sometimes
being alone
is all you know
locked away
in your own mind
as the people walk on by
once in awhile they say hello
but eventually they all go
then you’re back to being alone

Everything stays inside
The people don’t need to see the darkness
What is the point of showing it when no one will be able to brighten it?
There will never be a door
Or a window for light to come in
The darkness will always defeat the little light there is
I have to stay true to myself and pick myself up
Because my darkness will never
Meet the sunlight
No matter where it’s from.

It's never the quiet ones they say,
Hopefully they realise the real truth someday,

Quiet hearts inwardly cry,
While they silently watch loved ones slowly die.

Quiet eyes hide their immense pain,
It's a wonder how they are still sane.

Quiet minds hold the most fascinating thoughts,

Quiet mouths hold nothing but truth,
But they won't say it was you.

Quiet voices want scream out loud,
But only do when there's no one around.
Introvert or Extrovert?

Kneeling down on this filthy floor,
Filthy with guts and audacity,
In the hands of every form but me,
While im here still dreadfully desperate for an ally,
But social interaction, though I covet for it a lot,
Its still unendurable to liaise,
With all psyche and be extant,
Except the unseen ethos,
That i seek answers from at night.

If I'm always the odd one out
I must follow where everyone goes
Regardless whether I want it or not
Just to keep everyone close
I've been conditioned to learn
From others, to always want more
More friends equates to more love
Be more successful than before
But fame and fortune do not excite me
I relish in private solitude
I'm reshaping my view on difference
As a preference I'm willing to pursue
You'll get to know that the world is endowed with beauty once you let yourself explore.
You'll get to know that
The coolest songs are those you haven't listened to.
The sweetest girls are those you haven't met and talked to.
Heart soaked feelings are those you haven't felt.
Look at the moon so distant but will give you a perfect date.
Imagine you turned out to be that moon to everyone.
How many lives would you bless?
Stop being an introvert.
If you are wild, let yourself be tamed.
Let your heart  learn how to love
Only then, will the world be yours.
There's no life in being a stranger to everyone and everything around you.
Friendship is the beauty unknown. Search and find it.

So, after all is said and done
I take some time to sit and breathe
A moment's silence so hard won
To unload stress and retake ease-
People are so hard to please
They ask one thing and want another-
The stillness shivers like a breeze
And nurses what the crowds had smothered
An experiment in ballade style. Subject: myself, an introvert, after a long day of work in entertainment and customer service.

Im going to a party today
Loud music
Lots of people
People I see everyday
I dont talk to them much
Im the shy girl
But is a new year
And the last one too
Im the introvert
In that bubble that I live in, 8 hours a day
But I'll do my best
It's easier to say I'm fine, just tired
As if my reply was a movie
Cutting out the details and generalizing
In a way, not giving the whole story
Read me to know more
Though it may be long and tedious
Only for the people who want more
Who will love me more serious
When I say I'm tired
I am tired of life
So when I become more distant
I'm just trying to survive
