Take it in.
Take it all.. in.
It has never
been
my choice.
Never asked you to
smile.
stare.
pity.
Never wanted to
hear
what i'm supposed to hear.
Taking silence
as weakness.
Aversion to pain.
Aversion to thought..
is what you call
strength.
Using
my kindness..
to shelter
this hate.
What would you like me
to say?
I'll say it.
Would you like me
to laugh?
At least that silence
would disappear.
My world.
Disappear.
Don't ask me
how this feels.
Author notes
It's kind of a combination between options 2, 3, and 4. If I had to specify, I'd say option 3. It deals with tension between introverts and extraverts.

This is very good. I like your interesting format and the emotion you have
for me the last line is very important on impact and I just thought your ending was fantastic
'Don't ask me
how this feels.'
thas is like a question that isn't meant to be answered which leaves it all awkward and open. great.
and a thankyou for following my rules and putting your option in your notes
good luck I loved your entry
