ruminations constantly swirling
a literary companion in hand
seeking peace amidst the storm
often quite awkward
withdrawn even at times
a pen, a pad, a liberation
watching and understanding
listening silently, faithfully
wishing any words to coalesce
the noise is contant, everywhere
incessant inconsequential chatter
disappearing once again
full of whimsy, bursting with curiosity
most will never know
pretending not to have a care at all

I love the line, incessant inconsequential chatter, very true, why all the small talk when there are books, and their ideas to discuss.

Yes, there are much more interesting matters to discuss! I really try to avoid pointless conversation. It usually makes me feel quite awkward.

Love this. Kind of feels like you were writing after seeing inside my head. That’s the beauty of poetry, I think, that it touches emotions and resonates in so many different ways for each reader.

I’m just trying my best to stay out of that shell but that’s difficult to do when i have a hard time meeting people. It is what it is for me. I just try to use the free time i have wisely. š

Haha, same for me. Iām really awkward. It can be a hard. I really donāt do well at having conversations about things I find purposeless, which makes it worse.
