Okay
Crown Shyness Jul 2019
I may seem okay
But I am not okay
I hide behind a mask until it breaks
This world is insane
I don’t want to be sane
"Being insane sounds more fun."

Maybe then you'd be alright
Crown Shyness Jul 2019
Maybe you should of stayed inside, in bed
It’s not good, all these thoughts in your head
You’ll wonder and wander around till your dead
Stuck and lost, with no escape,  in your head

Maybe then your blood wouldn’t turn to bile
If only you had stayed, at least for a while
But the path you chose, is not error and trial
You’ll just have to wait, to pass, for a while

Maybe if you knew, you’d be happy
At least if you had sight, you could see me
But if we turn the page, it’ll still end sadly
And if only you could hear, you could hear me

Singing to you softly
Your face had a smile
As I watched as you bled
To see you another day
"The death of a loved one, perhaps?"

Shattering Heart
Crown Shyness Oct 2020
Sometimes I think about
how I give my heart to others.
That one day they will shatter it.
And I will shatter as well
"heartbreak is a different pain entirely"

The Statue
Crown Shyness Apr 2020
Some say
She turned to stone
Waiting for her loved one
To come home
"I found a statue under a willow tree in the woods today"

Becoming
Crown Shyness May 2020
There was this girl
She made decision
After decision
Until she pondered
What had become of her
"she was so good, how did everything turn out bad?"
I want a story following a character who goes through life and in the end becomes the bad guy.  It would end with them realizing this and the readers would also realize at the same time as the character.

Messy Hair
Crown Shyness Mar 2020
I look in the mirror
My hair's a mess
And I hate it
I pull at it
Pulling it out
And breaking off
The parts
I don't like
"my anxiety won't let me be"

Blazing Trees
Crown Shyness Sep 2020
As the sun set low beyond the horizon
It set the trees ablaze
their red leaves lit up like fire
But as the sun continued to fall
The warmth left
And in its place
The cold, dark night arose
"As the night rises, I use the warmth of
a small light"

Foolish Child
Crown Shyness Sep 2024
Dear God, please bless this foolish child
Who mourns the loss of strangers, wild animals, and nature
Who prays for peace but does not have the strength to stand up for it
Who wishes to know everything but cannot read
Who weeps because life is crueler than death
"Let death be kinder than man" Althea Davis
