Once upon a time, I was an extrovert.
Very outgoing, confident and expressive.
People couldn't bear that, and began to fire.
Shot brick by brick to collapse wall of my confidence.
Drop by drop filled me with despair.
And then transformed me into an introvert.
Once upon a time, I was an extrovert.
Very optimistic, cool and happy.
People couldn't bear that, and began to fire.
Shot brick by brick to collapse castle of my hopes.
Drop by drop filled me with worthlessness.
And then transformed me into an introvert.
Once upon a time, I was an extrovert.
Very enthusiastic, sociable and cheerful.
People couldn't bear that, and began to fire.
Shot brick by brick to collapse mansion of my dreams.
Drop by drop filled me with loneliness.
And then transformed me into an introvert.
Once upon a time, I was an extrovert.
Very joyous, self esteemed and ambitious.
People couldn't bear that, and began to fire.
Shot brick by brick to collapse empire of my desires.
Drop by drop filled me with gloominess.
And then transformed me into an introvert.
people never care really about what you have achieved so far but will be ready to shoot words at even at your smallest failure. Such people only concentrate on negatives and demotivate you. Its advisable to cut off such negative people from your life.. liked very much your poem and your poets note. love it....... be strong, become great. you are called to be great. tony
