introvert

I am an introvert 

if she was raised by extroverts.

I know the dance 

It even comes out of me in certain environments 

but eventually 

I am going to peel myself away from humanity 

pluck myself into a nook 

and write 

I will billow smoke and laugh maniacally

crying softly in between 

my inner world is almost too rich to bear. 

it’s why it’s so hard to leave.
