The Group

The usual suspects
Led the way
Left, right, up, down

They asked me to join them
And I have to say
It looked like fun
What a strange word
Fun

“Join us join us”
They insisted
But they simply didn’t know me
How much I value freedom
I thought,
“Better to let me fly by,
Than to join you
And prove my terrible
Group skills“

So, I politely refused
And avoided
The inevitable
Or perhaps
Brought the inevitable to the fore
Without wasting anyone’s time

Such is the life of an introvert. It is never anything personal. It’s more of a basic self-understanding applied to daily living.
