They Think I'm Numb

I have a voice yet I’m dumb

For the emotions of the world,

They think I’m numb!

Self – centered, silent, weird they call!

I know I’ve built a wall,

I’m not ready to take a fall,

I’ve been through a lot

And all of my hopes have rotted.

A book or a mobile is all I need,

They think I’m confined but I’m really freed,

Songs in solitude are my safe haven,

With a few humans, my life isn’t barren!

I eat, sleep, read and repeat,

I need fewer mortals, sorry it’s bitter yet, sweet!

The time spent with humans drains my energy

And that is the jeopardy!

My love for some mortals is unconditional,

Sometimes it turns fatal!

For love was my natal.

I spend hours with myself

Talking, imagining, thinking, and overthinking!

It’s a beautiful world.

But this world sometimes gives me terrible anxiety.

Two days without panic attacks become surreal!

Envied sometimes seeing people hanging out together,

Want to be a part of the culture,

The very next moment the mind has changed forever!

Good, bad, ugly, or whatever,

I’m never giving up on me whatsoever!

There are two sides to a coin,

Though facing opposite,

They make life pretty.

Accept each other and live in harmony

I might be antisocial,

But I’m not trying to harm any!
