Yeah, I’m shy
I don’t know why
In front of a crowd,
No longer am I loud
My heart beats fast
Like a spell that’s cast
My hands shake
As if there was an earthquake
I try to speak, looking down at my paper
But oxygen is stolen by nature
I try to hide my face
I can’t, so instead I look at a random place
It’s hot and my skin burns
In front of people my stomach churns
I move and twitch nervously
I am scared, most certainly
I read my words
And though no one cares, not even two thirds
I freeze up anyway
I’d give it away any day
Yeah, I’m shy
But it’s something I must live by
