Life Poem by Poetezz Nana Ama

I was an introvert
and I couldn't revert.
I hardly spoke
not 'cause I feared a choke.
It was my make-up
With me till I grew up.
Was a little timid
Oh dear! Mommy hated it.
More than shy
Remember I use to cry.
People said I was so soft
I wonder if I was a cloth!
I wasn't though
But then I was cold.
Could do nothing on my own
Always had to be pushed.
Daddy would say
'You're now a lady
Speak up and be real'.
I tried becoming an extrovert
No more an introvert.
Psyched myself up
No more going back!
I befriended everyone
Unfriended no one.
Had to be lively
Not only to family.
Tried being cheerful
Just a little less sorrowful.
Pushed in my real me
Looked like twas so sweet.
I put smiles on people's faces
They thought I had the grace.
Little did they know
I'd been made to go.
I built up good relations
There were no exceptions.
Treated all right
What a real fight!
I had to endure
To remain strong.
Mommy felt happy
My change was snappy.
I was glad with my new self
That I was so much at rest.
Never did I imagine
I would be diverting
From my way of living
As it caused many queries.
My 'carefree' life
Brought me strife.
My friendliness
Brought me hatred.
My sane living
Introduced envying.
I'm fed up now
Don't wanna go loud.
Back to the old me
Cool, cold and my own crony.
No more pretense
Wanna be reserved.
Moving with full force
Like a galloping horse.
Off to introvert
Out of extrovert.
No longer interested
In becoming perfect.
Going my own way
The price, I'm ready to pay.
Ready to face the consequences
Whatever happens, I care less.
Already into it
No time to quit.
Back to my roots
Out of my crook.
Wow, that sounds cool!
Am never going clued.
Moving to Introvert
No more Extrovert.
