    So I recently took a personality test and my results really really got me thinking, and I wrote a poem about it...
    ------------------------

    An Introvert
    Left alone in his own head
    in the middle of the night,
    how could that be sane?

    When alone,
    one might become as alone as people have said.
    For, in the middle of the night,
    all that's left in his head is pain.

    Intuitive,
    able to figure it all out.
    Solving everybody's problems,
    leaving his own alone.
    Because to be intuitive
    you must be introvertive.
    To go against the crowd
    to save who needs saving.

    The Feeling,
    the feeling of loneliness
    the feeling of sorrow
    and the feeling of grief for another's problems.
    Becoming intuitive in attempts to help them
    causing introversion.

    Perceiving life,
    one's hardest grasps.
    Looking at things like no one else,
    seeing good above all else.
    To perceive, you must feel.
    You must feel the intuition to help others,
    and adapt your perception from anothers.
    But to be intuitive,
    you must introvert from the world
    and you must go into the small crowd.

    You must help the Introverts
    You must save the Intuitive
    You must purge other's sorrowful Feeling.
    and that will shape your perception.

    Suddenly, the introverts extrovert.
    The Intuitive crave help and desire guidance.
    The Feeling suppresses
    and that is true perception,
    seeing the opposite of the positive.

    Jb.

    What do you think? It's really deep I know, but any other thoughts?

    "once on a yellow piece of paper,
    he wrote a poem
    and he called it "chops"
    because that was the name of his dog.
    and that's what it was about
    and his teacher gave him an A
    and a gold star
    and his mother hung it on he door
    and read it to his aunts
    that was the year father tracy
    took all the kids to the zoo
    and let them sing on the bus
    that was the year his little sister was born
    with tiny toenails and no hair
    and his mother and father kissed a lot
    " and the girl around the corner sent him a
    valentine signed with a row of x's
    and he had to ask his father what the x's meant
    and his father always tucked him in at night
    and was always there to do it
    once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
    he wrote a poem called "autumn"
    because that was the name of the season
    snd that's what it was all about
    and his teacher gave him an A
    and asked him to write more clearly
    and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
    because of its new paint
    and the kids told him
    that father tracy smoked cigars
    and left butts on the pews
    and sometimes they would burn holes
    that was the year his sister got glasses
    with thick lenses and black frames
    and the girl around the corner laughed
    when he asked her to go see santa claus
    and the kids told him why
    his mother and father kissed a lot
    and his father never tucked him in at night
    and got mad
    when he cried for him to do it
    once on a piece of paper torn from his notebook
    he wrote a poem
    called "innocence; a question"
    because that was the question about his girl
    and that's what is was all about
    and his professor gave him an A
    and a strange steady look
    and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
    becaue he never showed her
    that was the year that father tracy died
    and he forgot how the end
    of apostle's creed went
    and he caught his sister
    making out on the back porch
    and his mother and father never kissed
    or even talked
    and the girl around the corner
    wore too much makeup
    that made him cough when he kissed her
    but he kissed her anyway
    because that was the thing to do
    and at three a.m he tucked himself into bed
    his father snoring soundly
    that's why on the back of a brown paper bag
    he tried another poem
    and he called it "absolutely nothing"
    becaue that's what it was really about
    and he gave himself an A
    and a slash on each damned wrist
    and he hung it on that bathroom door
    because he didn't think
    he could reach the kitchen
