Thank You, Shyness

Shyness is okay

Express yourself in a unique way

Create with words; that’s your spare time

Alone in your room; a lone bell chime

The social talk, run, express

For they try to impress

My heart longs to join

The social; fitting in like refined brown coins

“Why must we fit in?” Shyness asks

“When we don’t have to wear masks?”

Masks, false features of who we are

Thank You, Shyness, for taking me this far
