I Was Just Trying to Sit Quietly 😶📚🙃

I found a chair,
And I chose peace.
My headphones in,
My volume.. deceased. 🎧📵

-------------------

A book in hand,
My soul at rest.
No chaos. No chatter.
Just me, at my best. 📚🛋️

-------------------

Then she appeared
With a smile too wide.
Twelve empty seats,
But guess where she slides? 😑

-------------------

“What are you reading?”
She beams with glee.
And just like that,
I lose custody of me. 😩

-------------------

I mumble the title,
Polite yet reserved.
She tells me her life story
Details I dont deserved. 🗣️🐈

-------------------

Her favorite author,
Her cat’s middle name.
I’m being held hostage
In this unsolicited game. 😩

-------------------

Inside I’m screaming.
Outside I’m kind.
Because introverts are trapped
By the manners we mind. 🎭

-------------------

I don’t hate people.
I just love silence more.
And small talk ambushes
Are an emotional chore. 🚪🧠

-------------------

So next time you see someone
Quiet and still,
Maybe... don’t sit next to them
Against their will.

-------------------

We’re not being rude,
We’re just staying alive.
Your kindness is sweet
But it’s a sensory landslide. 🚨

-------------------

Let us sit. Let us read.
Let us not be your quest.
Sometimes the kindest thing
Is letting us rest. 😌📖💤
