Susan Cain-The Power Of Introverts


A brilliant talk about how our culture has become so exroverted that being an introvert is being viewed as awkward ,even anti-social in a way.Susan Cain makes great points on how this system should be changed by recognizing and appreciating the differences between extroverts and introverts.

Can't you see?

So sick of it all....

Cant you see?
How your words hurt me
Like wounded daggers aimed straight to my heart
But the imbued silence in your eyes are much worse
For they dig deeper down to my souls hearse

Maybe you're telling the truth
But I dont want to know
Nor do I want sugar-coated lies
I just want your faith in my blithe despondency
Help me calm down my minds ambivalency

Words are never enough to breathe my feelings into you
Neither are these evanescent tears
So just look through me
Can you hear the ink swaying on the paper?
Freeing those invisible screams under the algid vapour

Sceams of delusion that was never cleared
Screams of hatred hidden behind layers of hurt
Screams pain to be endured
Screams of shame to be cured
Screams repeating to be inured...

An infinite cycle of alienation
Trying to make it better
But making it worse instead
Filled with withering images the cycle repeats again
Over and over until routine comes to reign

Do you see now?
But you never did
Neither did they
So please dont ask me anymore questions
There is no explination
Only one demonstration
Our only solution
Let me release my soul to our irenic isolation
Maybe then I'll return with my salvation...

Promise Yourself


Just a poem about my thoughts on the society today

Promise Yourself

Open your eyes
Its time for a new start
A fresh day has risen upon the clouds
Look through the mirror
Carefully paint on a smile
Try not to smudge it with your tears
With being yourself....

When you close that door
Dont forget to wear your mask
Your golden ticket to social inclusion
Proof of your personal existence
Both proud and somber to have earned it,
Gradually walk into the street

Millions of people
Each doing the same thing at a different place
Rushing with the minutes shed by the clock
Where are we all going to?
Who we competing against?
When we dont even have the time to stop and breathe in the essence of life...

You are scared of judgement
You are scared of failing
You feel unappreciated
You feel detatched
You feel misunderstood
But so do they
For emotions are a part of being human

Then why is there so much pain engraved into our names?
What is the reason to this constant emulation?
Why are so many lips smiling while their souls are mourning for freedom?
Why are we living in a World of just black and White?
Have we forgotten the shades of grey?
Blinded by the pressure to survive
While letting our true selfs die...

Life is not about finding yourself,its about creating yourself they say
So you can finally say that I'm...
Hanging diplomas and college degrees on our walls
Hiding behind a social role
But these can only give us the script,
Not the ability to act
How can we define the I when we dont even know who it is?

So please stop dashing with what time has to offer
Or just using it as your escape
No,time wont heal your wounds
But you eventually learn to embrace your sorrow
That no bird can ever fly without falling down first
The only cage around it is fear of falling again
The only key to freedom is fortitude

When the moon alights
Promise yourself,promise me to revive
Burn your masks in your fire of rectitude
Write a poem to the clear midnight air
Whisper to the rain
With no more fearful lies
Say you'll live today
With no more screams to fray...
