I’m an introvert

“Please say those words again”, my heart begged

“Stop! Don’t you dare!” warned my brain

I want to say, “Fuck this world, I do too!”

But I keep my mouth shut

Because I’m an introvert

I watch those oh-so-perfect Instagram and FB posts

Heck! Why ain’t my life like that?

But I silently envy them

Because I’m an introvert

They said: Say no. I said No

They said: Say yes. I said Yes (which I shouldn’t)

But I live like a puppet

Because I’m an introvert

I’m very good in masking my pain

I hide the crevices well

But I won’t utter: WTH! It hurts

Because I’m an introvert

Each heart carries a story and feet walk on a journey

Some stories do not end well,

The feet never reach the destination

But I ignore them all

Because I’m an introvert

Even you say those words all over again

I want to say: "Yes! I really love you too"

But I would never confess

Because I’m an introvert
