Sometimes,
I feel like I'm the odd one out-
the one who spends
too much time
in her head

alone.

I feel like my nature 
(that of a dreamer) 
constricts me 
to the titles of
"weird"
"strange"
"crazy"
and those alone.

People tell me
that I read too much,
that I think too much,
that I should go out more
that not liking alcohol,
parties,
pop,
makes me strange, 
makes me stick out-
gives them leave to harass me.

In short, I feel
alone
lost 
misunderstood
trapped
and mad.

Oh, and by the way,

I am an extrovert.
I see so much about how introverts are misunderstood, and while I don't question this, you are not the only ones! Just because I happen to draw my energy from socialising doesn't mean I have a perfect life, after all as an extrovert my happiness relies on friendship, and when you're naturally a little "odd" getting said friendship can be hard.
Anyway, I don't mean any disrespect for anyone, introvert or extrovert, I just thought that with so many introvert poems I should get and extrovert one out there :)
(I'm ENFP if anyone is wondering)
