A BAG OF POEMS

#28 An Introvert's Diary

The conversation is flowing steadily,

Like a ball already in motion,

With its pace too fast and spinning wildly,

The topics also change unpredictably.

I open my mouth, I have a lot to say,

My thoughts go hither-thither,

As they push against my mind,

It's a mini competition every single day.

But my voice clogs and chokes,

Like light bulb that was switched off suddenly,

And nothing comes out,

My mind is open, but my mouth closed.

And again the topic changes,

I scowl at this new dynamics,

Can't you see I still had something to say !

But my frown is not noticeable,

Overshadowed by the light of this new conversation.

Yet I persevere, my hopes are not dashed,

So I ready myself to talk,

To recite my heart to my people,

So they could listen the melody of my heart,

But again my voice is drowned,

In the loud noises of frivolous talks.

So I keep to myself, maybe this way is better,

If nobody would listen, why should I sing?

And I go back to being my quiet, usual self,

With conversations around me,

But my silence no one would shatter.

And when someone brings up the question with no civility,

"Why won't you say anything?"

My silent glare is cold enough to freeze their burning curiosity.
