INTROVERT

Sometimes I run out of words to say, I stand there hollow

Embarrassed and uncomfortable in my own  skin

It’s because I feel you are more than I am unconsciously with sorrow

Although I love what I am, who I am, what I will become tomorrow

 

It might have started when growing up subconsciously I was made to feel

Aware of who I am, aware of who I am supposed to be, even If not real

The misconception of who I should be and respect

Being groomed in a way of constantly having to be perfect

 

You see me more than I am, I try and be who you see

Maybe between all I am or am supposed to be

The words struggle to pierce through the two of me

 

For the crowd around me awakens a feel of Disconcert

Not for dislike or purposely wanting to elude

Not for being inadequate or not being able to revert

but because the mind has given me a name, I am an “Introvert”

I want to equate the undertones of this poem to be akin to feeling completely alone while standing in a crowd of friends. I applaud to your sense of timing by using the title as the last word. The experience felt more alluring then a custom made trap.

This character seems to have an internal struggle, seems to know what she is is not necessarily OK but at the same time she accepts it, well crafted

The essence of this poem is that on the outside to everyone the character seems perfect but she struggles with her own placement! she borders on both introvert and extrovert. thanks for reading

You see me more than I am, I try and be who you see
Maybe between all I am or am supposed to be
