Sometimes, being an introvert can present unique challenges. Here are four times I think life would have been easier as an extrovert.
Cracks
Your heart just isn’t in it;That’s something I can’t fix.And you know I’d give anything,But some things can’t be fixed. Maybe I’m what’s broken…That’s the way it feels – Like I’m cracking at the seams,And none of this is real. And I know I can’t tell youJust how far I’m falling.But I refuse to bother youWith…
Missing
Deep inside me,There’s a fireWaiting to be unleashed.I can feel the heatFrom every flame,But when I reach out…It’s gone.

Time
Time is this ever-present force in our lives that most people neglect to think about properly. Sure, you think about it in terms of what time you need to wake up in the morning or how long you have to eat lunch, but time is so much more than that.
Leaves
While the best thing about fall in my opinion is without a doubt the change of temperature, the colors are a close second.
