Shy

Folder: 
Emotion

Stage fright kicked in
Sweat swept across my forehead
Forced to go up front and speak
Witness someone who's shy you'll see
Silent trembles started in my stomach
Turned to fluttering butterflies
Voice cracking, nervous and overwhelmed
Could not imagine this experience
Could not imagine this insecurity is hell
Get over the fear of standing in front of you all
And watch what I shall be

Shy, so quiet an occasional speaker
Only when spoken too
Encouraged to start conversation
Coming out of the shell
Coming out of the fear
Not helpless, only now out spoken
Opinionated about the disapproval for being shy
Have a voice, use it and do not abuse it
Head up and show your strength
Show that you are capable
And leave the fright behind

Shy, duh. It was from an experience I had in school doing a presentation.

Much thanks! My anxiety over shyness has lowered down quite a bit, not too sure if I can stand in public and speak though.
