Hi Steemians and welcome to my entry for the open mic week 43 competition.
It's a song called "introverted" and it's about me and my shyness.
It may seem difficult to understand how someone who can give a musical performance to a crowd of people, can describe themselves as shy. However, this is the case with me and I'll try and explain what I mean.
When I play guitar and sing I'm in my own little world and it doesn't matter how many people are listening - I don't even notice them. When I finish the song I'm back as myself with all these people looking at me. I clam up and can't think of anything to say for fear of sounding stupid. So I just say "thanks" and sing another song.
I'm also quite introverted around new people I meet and thought writing a song about it might help me.
If anyone has any tips to help overcome this please share with me. Thanks.
So here is the song. Please give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it.
~Lyrics
You know I don't enjoy the smalltalk
I like to conversate with substance
So I sit back, when we chitchat
You know I listen to every one of your problems
Don't take it personal, I'd like to talk
But you know how much I hate phone calls
And it's stressful, when my head’s full of words to say
I guess that a text will do today
And I overthink the little things
I just want to understand
I need someone to be with
Just take my hand
Introverted
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
don't want to be alone
don't want to feel low
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
And I relive my bad moments
I really should have thought it over before, we meet
Seems like every week, whenever we speak
It's evidently, I'll be out of my tree
And the drink makes me talk too much, and think much less
And just brings stress to my head
That's why I never want to go to bed
Never want to read those messages that I sent
And I overthink the little things
I just want to understand
I need someone to be with
Just take my hand
Introverted
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
don't want to be alone
don't want to feel low
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
And I overthink just about everything
And I worry too much about the little things
And I'm hopeless at noticing those signs you give
I just need someone to be with
Introverted
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
don't want to be alone
don't want to feel low
you make me feel so
you make me feel so
introverted
Don't want to be alone
don't want to feel low
