Cornered

By Karyn Indursky

Solitude seeks me. 
Everyone gives me plentiful reasons to take it. 
Pressure traps me all the time. 
\Inner walls were built early on in life. 
They still protect me. 
When cracks start, I know. 
\Points in being numb have high ranking. 
Vulnerability is a massive concern. 
Confrontations don't stop the process. 
\Being outgoing is holding me back. 
Trying to expand social horizons is a flaw. 
The real answer i solitude. 
\Hypocritical people judge me constantly. 
They actually believe they know me, but most don't. 
Merely knowing minor details doesn't make them experts. 
\The more I try to get out of the solitude, 
the more people shove me back into it. 
Joking around is supposed to be fun, yet they ruin it everyday. 
Being an individual poses harder all the time 
when solitude along with people have me cornered.
