Shyness Overcome

Shyness Overcome

A Poem by Shelby

You think I'm shy

You think I'm quiet

On my own word diet

But baby it's impossible

To understand my mind

So I try to leave it behind

I have too much to say

If on;y I were able

Stuck inside my made up label

My common breakfast table fable

So I just sit back and listen

To your incessant chatter

As your opinions just get fatter

As your words fall pitter patter

Against my silent open lips

My head nodding unimpressed

My ears closed to the rest

Of the best of your vocal rat's nest

Hoping that I will confess

But instead inside my sated head

I simply have a false illusion

My mind's suicide contusion

And one day it will burst forth

Pouring out my every heavy thought

Tha's ever rot amongst the knot

I've never spoken, never broken

Never revealed for your token

But my shyness will be defeated

Overcome at last.
