Introvert

Everything life taught me ,

I assembled them like a piece of paper

And burnt them in a flaming fire.

My life is a moving van

With a little gear made of flexible time

And a rounded steering wheel .

I'm not directed by the winds,

But I show the river the part to tread

And the moon, the time to shine.

Life taught me that experience is the best teacher,

But I told my self that every moment is determinant ,

And I could tell time to give me some time.

Life taught me to cry without tears,

But a wounded heart will always bleed red blood ,

And swollen eyes will overflow salty water.

I learnt to smile even when I cried,

And to cry when I smile

To let my smile, my tears, flow together.
