My Reticence

Introverts are awesome. They just keep it to themselves.

I feel safe here in my space
And I don't want to come out again
For when I step into the world
All I get is stinging pain
I am crying inside out
For what they have done to me
Yet I continue to suffer these chaotic bouts
And I pretend to be happy
A steaming coffee at my feet
And a book in my hand
Is all I need in order to
Escape far way in my land
I'll stay there forever
In my own bubble, my own safe shell
For that is the only place
That doesn't feel like hell.
