Why I write, an interesting writeup about a girl that sees her writing as her mirror 🪞

An idealist or a realist


A communist or a socialist


Oh No


Let's use more realistic terms


Introvert or extrovert


Without using Ambivert


Quick description


That little firstborn in the corner


Trying to enjoy the way life is


Without disappointment


The little girl in the corner afraid to be judged


Judges that need to be judged


Little girl in the corner who finds it easier to pretend like it's all good


But actually, it's not


Or that girl who is afraid to be the center of attraction


Without looking attractive


Or the one that acts all tough


Despite being fragile


If humans come with a tag I want to be tagged with 


Fragile


Thick cartoons around it


But when you drop it it's going to crash


With a lot of rashes


That cash can't patch


Then I found Ambivert


The definition is so funny and weird


But sadly it defines me


In a full light


I love how beautiful and creative people are


I also fear their criticism of my imperfections


And lack of insights


I want my voice heard sometimes


But sometimes I don't want to be heard


Because shush like a quiet sound scares me


With the look of shut up


It's enough to shut me out.


Wondering why I have no answer when I get asked


"Who are you"


J'ai ...


I can't even call out my name loud


Without the feeling of screaming in the rain


Because of the expectations that come with the name


Makes me want to dance in the rain


And relieve the feeling of being drained


I just want to be ME


But what if I don't know ME


One thing I discovered is that when I write out my feelings it makes me feel better that my writing is hidden


For Me and me only without eyes to read and judge


But what if my writing has been read and betrayed before


Those secret words I wrote in my corner


With tears dripping on the pages of the note


Words meant to be written to feel better


Not to be read out loud to be criticized and betrayed


But the journey of finding "WHO AM I"


Goes on and on...


I guess I can only express who I am 


By what I write when all the emotions come rushing out.
