To Stay Lonely A Little While Longer

A Self-Deprecating Soliloquy

By Shequinah Rayanh NanshanapaPublished 2 years ago • Updated 8 days ago • 1 min read
An old unfinished drawing of mine, that I felt captured the feeling

I want to talk,

See people,

Laugh with them

I have a pretty face,

I know that much,

But I hesitate

To put myself out there,

See people,

Flirt with them

How unattractive I think,

How predictable,

How boring

Have they seen themselves?

Have they seen me?

Have we seen us?

O, to stay lonely a little while longer
