Had
I looked back at my old self
I
would have seen a different me
An
introvert sitting quietly
Whilst
dreaming away to glory
So
conscious of the world views
Never
being able to give back hurtful dues
Confidence
never near you
Having
friends just a few
Poems
in hidden diaries
Scared
of letting anybody inside my world of fairies
Awaiting
some magic to change life’s highway
Not
knowing it was only ME who could do it any day
Had
I looked back
I
would have seen a different me
Would
have taught her to just let go, be free!!
P.S. This
post is written for -100 Words on Saturday hosted by Write Tribe. The prompt is ‘Had I looked back’

Hi5 Jasmine, from one introvert to another ;)
DeleteI can so relate to " An introvert sitting quietly, Whilst dreaming away to glory!".. Change is good; but sometimes we do miss our old selves...
ReplyDeleteI guess, as introverts, our dream world is a space where we are free to live the way we want.. <3<3
DeleteI can relate, but slightly differently. I was awkward and angry growing up! But, I would told myself the exact same words - "just let go, be free!!"
ReplyDeletebeautifully done
Somewhere we all are awkward and different in our own ways Pixie.. But yes, wish we would told our younger selves to stop being so held up within ourselves..
DeleteBeautiful one...fate of an introvert :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Pankti.. Yeah, introverts know how it is !!
