Don't Talk to Me


I am an introvert,

I drag me feet and wear loose clothes,

Some may think that I'm edgy but I promise It's not a choice,

I sit by a wall during lunch and I'm nervous constantly,

But do not be mistaken,

I am happy,

I enjoy reading and drawing and generally just things that I can do alone,

I am not scared nor am I stupid, I just don't talk,

So imagine the squirm I feel when you bend down and ask "Are you ok?",

Pity in your voice as you think you are letting me know that I am not alone but alone is all I want to be,

I am not sad nor am I mad,

I am just nervous,

Nervous does not mean scared stop reading into this,

I'm glad that you are a good hearted soul and you don't want me to kill myself but find out who your introverts are and don't talk to me.

Please don't take this the wrong way I just don't like other people.
