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.
