Your introverted mind wonders in abundance
Constant images of social demise
Screaming out loud but always mute
Clawing at the binds holding you
Torn between living and familiarity
Hiding behind walls of comfort
Only ever peeking quick glances
A canvas of translucency
Straying from transparency
Being alone in the world of the lonely
Passing through life with a safety harness
Coiling around your neck
You're on the edge of suffocation
Shielding your heart
You fall out of reach
Detachment being your only commitment
Your only relationship
Battlefield of emotions fighting against one another
Fear being rewarded with gold
Settling with the decision, you go back to how you were
Trying your best to be unnoticed
Content for the time being
But as time passes, regret sneaks up on you
Your observant and shy eyes linger
On the person who intrigues you
You never approach, still glued to familiarity
They walk by, unable to see through that translucent wall
Unsure, uneasy, unnerving
Paralysis like a virus as it spreads through your body
You don't chase, fear keeping you from doing so
You lose them, though you never had them
The chance stolen from you by choice
More alone than before, your emotions cloud over
Rain shoots down bullets of blur
Soaking your ripped soul
Sealing your void heart
Rebuilding your solid wall of introversion
