Poem #12: My own World

I look down at my screen,

I listen to my music full blast.

I zone out,

I block out the world.

The only voices that can reach me are the ones that are important to me.

Strangers think they're talking to me,

But are talking at me insteaad.

You see that because I just met you,

Doesn't simply mean I'll talk to you.

You see, I'm not ignorant,

Pigheaded or any of that,

No.

I'm shy.

I'm shy enough to ignore people,

I'm shy enough to come across as mad, upset or depressed.

I'm shy,

And I'm in my own world.
