Extroverted Introverts


​Dear extroverts,

1000 thoughts
1000 lines 
But most don't know what comes across 
Our racing little minds
 
 
Quiet and to ourselves 
Is what we do best
People might think we're shy
But We just have lost feelings that don't get expressed 
 
 
We live in our heads
And ask ourselves why are you so damn quiet
We lye in our beds 
And tell ourselves just talk for once, it won't cause a riot
 
 
We have so many things to say
But yet don't know how to say them
We have so many emotions to convey
But yet don't know how to portray them 
 
 
I want to talk 
I want to be engaging 
Although it's as if my lips are locked 
And the resilience inside me is blazing 
 
 
Yes I know I need to work on that
I know I need to change 
I guess I need to step out of my comfort zone 
And widened my range 
 
 
But They always said that she'd grow out of it 
It's just a phase 
But when their words became null
Just a phase transformed into many months and many days 
 
 
So she lived her life 
Full of worries and regrets 
And never moved on 
From that hushed little mindset
 
 
Love,
Alexis Holt
