living as an introvert

I can't force the words out 
You stand there patiently awaiting my answer
As I struggle to find the courage to talk
The words are just stuck, 
putting them out into the world is harder than you could ever imagine 
I watch as my friends talk, so freely, quickly
They never have to worry if they are going to be able to get the words out if someone asks a question
Living as an introvert is so much harder than it made out to be

  • The Day You Died

    The day you died 

    We danced, sang, and laughed until we cried

    we filled ourselves with happiness until the sadness did subside

    At the end we simply said good night not goodbye

  • 17th Birthday


    A year older.

    A year wiser. 

    Time slips out from my grasp like the oceans tides, 

    Natural yet terrifying in the most nauseating way, 

    I’m sick of growing up.
  • Love Lost

    Love is felt most when its leaving 

    We cry for what once was 

    What could’ve been

    For the people We once were 

    Watching as it leaves

    Weary eyes, and tired feet
