From shame to unrestrained

Location

Shyness plagues my fate everyday

Restraining my destiny from enlightened ways

Short of tongue, weak willed, no play

A curse forged by years of being downplayed

 

Insecurity haunts those who have no faith

In their way of being, and confidence they gate

Cat is no friend of these men for famed are they

Hostages hold their tongue to claw, and craze

 

All those words you withhold in greed

Decreed I today, release your shame

Share the beauty, share the feelings

Don’t shelter them, just release them

 

When the truth sets you free

You shall see, what kept you chained

Wasn’t worth the pain, now one must Gain

Their way to freedom, speak and preach, praise and Graze

 

DO NOT ALLOW others to bring shame

You are great, you are sane

You are confident, you are not plain

Speak to others unrestrained, shy no more no more feign
