I have been very slow to choose
a resolution for the coming new year
that I might be able to sustain.
But over two weeks after others
have made all their decisions,
I may have found one.
I am going to come out, late in life,
as an introvert and forget the alphabet
of mental health labels by which others
define and redefine themselves.
If a lack the words in the middle
of an attempted conversation
it is because I am 'an introvert' coping
with a world set to 'extrovert' terms
of change, need, and want, and grabbing attention.
*here 'In' is short for 'introvert'.
