My escape from sociability
Was going rather well
Terror raged inside of me
Tho’ very few could tell
Were honesty and openness
To nullify deceit
Sustaining life through Poetry
Implied I'd seem complete
While metaphors apparently
Succumbed to speaking plain
My introverted moodiness
Took pride in being vain
But giving ear to loneliness
Had rendered me as weak
As passive hints at happiness
Gave charm a chance to speak
Within our close proximity
We always could be found
Where laughter tuned our melody
To love's despondent sound
Yet once a challenge had been met
Monotony stepped in
Thus soon implored another game
Less interesting to win
But knew my bored Lothario's
Exempt from feeling shame,
As darkness he had left intact
To douse my heartless flame
