Homebody
Wallpaper walls become a shield,
Away from the rest of the world,
One that is overwhelming at times,
People and emotions that can feel like hurricanes,
Sucking up my soul,
It takes its toll smiling for no reason,
As the seasons change, I stay at home,
In my comfy prison,
Out of the cold,
More hobbies than days of the year,
No tears shed for birthdays spent alone,
Because I'm an introvert,
Silence is all that I know,
As I count the threads on my blue throw,
The window is my glimpse into the world,
Noises of cars and people are blurred,
But it could be worse,
After all, this is my choice,
And I choose home,
Because being with people can make you feel just as alone,
I'd rather do what I enjoy,
Like write, bake, or program raspberry pi,
In a place that's safe and mine,
Than be miserable and anxious,
Outside.
