Life can be lived with hope or despair
Yet, we expect it to be fair
How to determine what to do next
When our heart and mind are filled with such unrest
To whom do I turn to find assurance
Provide me the much needed support and solace
What have I done to deserve this in the first place
Even my silence is at times mistaken
When will people realize that I am an introvert
Just need someone patient enough to understand
I know I am not a bad person
Yet, I made to feel I have done something wrong
Deep inside, I know I am shaken, not broken
But I will not let the faith in myself waver
As I have taken blows quite often
I still remain hopeful for a better life and future
