Introversion

Introversion

Holding a pen and a paper in hand

I decided to chisel the theme of my writing

‘Introversion’, a much known personality trait

The topic that my brain was itself invading

I smiled at the idea of inscribing the words

On a subject that my heart was empathizing

Remember? The type of boy or a girl you met

Was just an individual internally concentrating?

They wish to spend some time in solitude

Their energy remains stable and not draining

Their desires are to stay at home, all day

Coz it’s difficult, the task, to be socializing

Being shy is just another characteristic

But all you can offer is viscously “labelling”

A quiet, calm, and somewhat reserved individual

They aren’t the kind who are so much demanding

It isn’t that they are being rude or hard-nosed

It’s just that they are observant of everything ‘changing’

Ever noticed they are not so much talkative

Coz they are the ones who are unobtrusively listening

Believing that talk is half of the tale

They look up for cues that are non-communicating

Pondering the things that can make them happy?

Provide a library and a good book for reading

“How does it feels to feel something deeply?”

They know it because that’s how they are incarnating

Just see the glimpse of the eyes when they talk

Creativity, ingenuity or the ideas thought provoking

It’s arduous for people to understand introverts

But, like extroverts, they are real and intriguing.
