American introvert
Made to feel
Like my brain don't work
It ain't a fair deal..
I need time alone
Will you please understand
I need time alone
It's a fundamental demand
I'm not myself
Without time to breathe
My pleas are heartfelt
But the truth, you refuse to believe..
I used to idolize you
While I was outside - watching..
You socialize like it's your fuel
And patronize my quiet - mocking..
You think you understand me
And put me in a box
Anti-social with anxiety
Cursed with mental blocks..
For some, that is true
For me, it is not
I am neither sad nor blue
Likely just deep in thought
But I need time alone
To sort those thoughts out
I need time alone
Why is my truth so easy to doubt?
My brain is different than yours
It's so easy to see
I dream of solo hikes outdoors
While you might a prefer packed party
Come at me with deep conversation
Together, we talk and grow
I don't want complete isolation
I just need some time alone. ✌️ S
