You can barely tell
That the edges of her desk are peeling
But you are convinced that
She doesn’t work hard

 

And you can barely tell
That she is shaking
But that it isn’t even
Cold outside

 

And it’s hard to notice
That she doesn’t want new friends
But that the old ones
Are all she needs

 

Her attendance at concerts
And parties are common
But you hardly notice her
Walk out the door

 

Pictures on social media
Prove she doesn’t just sit alone
But sometimes that is all
She wants to do

 

She isn’t the athlete and
The artist and the musician
But she is great at
What she does

 

You can barely tell
That she requires solitude
But that is who she is
And that is okay

Hopefully this piece will allow my fellow introverts to feel like they are not alone in this world even when they want to be.
