Introvert

I have to be honest.

People exhaust me.

This might be hard for some to understand.

Talking to people starts becoming work.

I realize this might sound odd.

I am posting it as spoken word.

The thing is I can walk away.

You don't always have the option,

and you start feeling a drain.

The shell starts growing thin.

You need your form of quiet.

I get the feeling that you felt while writing this. I completely understand .. I love it .

Just being honest. Thank you.

I completely know and understand this feeling, a walk in the woods will help, :) but be careful no one grabs you, rapes you and sticks you in a closet. People are very unsettling and you just never know what you might come across, and it's a sad world for a woman to live in, can't even take a walk on the sidewalk alone anymore. Forget about going out alone at night, I miss it, I miss feeling safe in this world.

I have a bit of an advantage. I stand a couple inches over six feet, and also being male. Honestly, it doesn't matter. All it takes is someone with a weapon, and an attitude. Still, you have to find a way to find peace.

I could just as easily post this as one of my own.
I find it overwhelming quite often. I mean, ever notice how often I close my account and run away? :)

[Jon Roggie]

Yes, I have noticed. I just step away for awhile.

I'm an introvert and I agree with the line; people exhaust me. I actually agree with the whole poem haha.

Yet we still try to write.
