Confessions of an Introvert

I\u2019m guilty of being a loner,

Of finding solace in silence,

Where thoughts swirl like autumn leaves,

And the world feels less heavy in my solitude.

I\u2019m the friend who disappears,

Not because I don\u2019t care,

But because my energy whispers,

\u201cRetreat, recharge, and return anew.\u201d

Crowds overwhelm; small talk feels foreign,

But give me a moment under the night sky,

And I\u2019ll tell you secrets the stars have kept

Since time began.

It\u2019s not loneliness I fear,

But the demand to constantly connect,

To explain my quiet,

When my soul speaks best in whispers.

I\u2019m guilty of needing space to feel whole,

Of walking the forest paths alone,

Where the trees understand the beauty of stillness,

And I find myself\u2014again and again.
