I speak a lot,
But I keep things unsaid,
Hoping you will understand.

Yes, I am very expressive
But I am more expressive in my own company.
Just walls surrounding me and playing along.

Maybe,
I lie somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert.

I love going out with friends
But it's too soothing when it's just me,
Walking amidst the crowd, vibing alone.

Yes, I am very friendly
But when it comes to opening up,
Spending time with someone,
I always prefer those three old friends
From school.

Maybe,
I lie somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert.

I remain silent at the moments
Coz sometimes I enjoy listening more.
When the voice flows in, and the heart echoes.

Did you ask me out?
Yes, I denied it.
Not because your idea was bad.
But I won't be able to be myself.

I might seem calm outside,
But there's lots of chaos going within,
Like a whole different world is built up,
In my tiny tired head.

Maybe,
I lie somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert.
