Enigma
Am I an Enigma
 Or just boring?
 
 Are my friends there for real,
 Or just there for convenience?
 
 Their comfort is forced and fake
 And I see through their shroud.
 
 When asked 
 why do I avoid?
 
 When included 
 why do I hesitate?
 
 What do I need to do to branch out,
 Who do I need to meet?
 
 Should I be bolder?
 Should I be quieter?
 
 Should I become what I'm not
 or stay the same and wait?
 
 But I don't want to wait,
 waiting takes too long.
 
 What If I'm not who I am...
 What if I'm different than I wish to be?
 
 What if I'm everything I hate, 
 Or everything no one likes?
 
 What if they never notice me,
 Or I'm in the wrong place?
 
 Should I isolate myself,
 or jump into the crowd?
 
 Should I leave the country,
 or just stay put?
 
 What qualities do I have to adopt,
 What properties do I drop?
 
 If I only had answers to my questions...
 wouldn't it be simple and grand.
 
 But nothing is ever simple 
 For me or any others.
 
 So does anyone have the answers,
 or do I have to keep searching...
