living as an introvert

I can't force the words out 
You stand there patiently awaiting my answer
As I struggle to find the courage to talk
The words are just stuck, 
putting them out into the world is harder than you could ever imagine 
I watch as my friends talk, so freely, quickly
They never have to worry if they are going to be able to get the words out if someone asks a question
Living as an introvert is so much harder than it made out to be

    A year older.

    A year wiser. 

    Time slips out from my grasp like the oceans tides, 

    Natural yet terrifying in the most nauseating way, 

    I’m sick of growing up.
  • Love Lost

    Love is felt most when its leaving 

    We cry for what once was 

    What could’ve been

    For the people We once were 

    Watching as it leaves

    Weary eyes, and tired feet 
  • Oh, Bird!

    Oh, Bird, tell me how does it feel to float on wings of ivory and gold?
    What is it like to have the world at your fingertips? 
    Tell me of the world beyond these acres, 
    Of the thrilling adventures in which you sing.
