Life is short

But it's the longest thing you'll do

Be who you want to be

Not who others want you to

Surround yourself with people who care and understand

Make sure they are the people you want around at all

The kind of people who will catch you

And pick you up when you fall

 

I seem happy with my friends

With whom I laugh and I jest

But I would change my shyness

And tell the person I like best

I feel alone

In a sea of a million faces

I marvel at their smarts

And wonder if I am going places

 

My introverted nature

Keeps me from excelling

I listen and try to understand

But unasked questions keep me from comprehending

 

My life is happy

As far as they can see

Talking to others would help

And let me finally break free

There is a whole world to explore

If I am brave enough to face it

Staying quiet won't get me far

Letting it fly by is all I'll get
