Self Portrait

Sometimes I do stuff

Sometimes I don’t

Sometimes my stubborn will simply, sternly says

“I won’t!”

My smile is quite an introvert

Does not appear upon command

I may not look too happy

But honestly, I am

I keep my eyes wide open

As I try and keep my mouth closed

I prefer my ears take in no more

Than I really need to know

I don’t enjoy the company

Of the obnoxious or the loud

Watch me slowly disappear

From the lonesome confines of a crowd

Eye to eye and heart to heart

Words exchanged in trust and patience

This is where I love to start

A warm and quiet conversation
