Introverts
Surrounded by voices louder than mine, I have been drowning within my own self. Everyone is so eager to vie for attention, to be unrivalled and better than everyone, to be in the spotlight. I am prepared to find the most inconspicuous place on earth as long as I am encompassed by books and colours.
Meeting people has never been easy. It has always been like burning a fire that others want, whispering a truth that others desire. Deep within my heart is a fear and insecurity. Going to school has never been very simple. Somehow, I get smothered by the swirling horde of so many people, all talking about their own things when I simply want to go to my room and have a little alone time.
I raise my voice through these words and tell the teacher who humiliated me, those bullies who mocked me and the people who demanded of me to be more extroverted, I am a little bit of all of you. Find my beauty and essence inside of you, find that insecurity and quietness. Find that hurt and pain. And then look at me. What do you see?
