Extroverted Mask

She’s A Drained Introvert

She gets overwhelmed with her emotions

And wants to keep to herself

But still be a family person

She’s an introvert, used to be very shy girl

With an extroverted job to pay her bills

Now she is drained on her off days

Don’t feel like being a social butterfly to her family and friends on the weekends

Maybe a few people here and their

But gatherings will give her headaches

She needs quietness

To recharge her mind

Her emotions

She don’t want to smile all the time

A hug is not in her

Not even a smirk

Nor an hi

Don’t take it personal

Its just not in her

She depleted herself of it all

But yet she will still push through to be there for her family

With a fake fatigued smile

And answers all there questions with fake enthusiasm

She is not being selfish nor self-centered

Don’t consider her anti-social

Or a people hater

She just protecting the little energy she does have

Just enough to get out of bed and take care of herself

Because in a few days she know she will have to put on a mask again

And act like an extrovert

An happy extrovert full of energy
