“Introverts” By Nika Patrice

Introverts are making maps, charts,
paintings, songs, and emotionally woven textures
inside themselves
that only the luckiest of explorers
only the gentlest of observers,
only the most appreciative of connoisseurs
will ever get to see,
to feel,
to touch,
to hear,
or to experience.

Can you be such an observer?

Or will you scare the butterflies away before
you ever know what it’s like
to get a glimpse inside
their world?

Inside the world
that not every ordinary
trekker will ever get the
chance to see.

Colorful doesn’t mean not introvert.
It just means *bright.*
