Introvert’s Craft
Ask the introvert about their art
of seeking distance from the crowd
this mastery that few can match
when recluses embrace their craft
the dangers of a populace
mixing closely without repent
are anathema to the few
that disregard the urge to fuse
they know the peril of company
the looming doom of maladies
evoked by those who gather round
the very seed of their downfall
this is avoided when the soil
is too rocky for tainted blooms
the introverts will survive
beyond those moments they will thrive.

We all want to survive this frenzy, but being alone with our thoughts can good or bad depend on you. Great poem. Keep on writing.
