Extrovert On The Inside

Extrovert on the inside,
introvert on the outside.
I've finally classified
myself out loud,
and wish I hadn't.

Denial is simpler
than responsibility.

Responsibility
requires action,
and probably change.

Change is challenging
and time consuming.

People are familiar
with the me
they already know.

They might be shocked
if they saw how loud
and exuberant
I am on the inside.

It might challenge
the masks they wear.

There could be
a chain reaction
of being honest
and fully real.

The inside and the outside
aligning,
and everyone
seen and being
who they really are.

Wouldn't that be something,
if I was brave enough to be me.
