From Shyness to Triumph
Since I've been young, I've always been shy
Some people couldn't understand, they'd always ask, "Why?"
To others, my shyness came across as being rude
To them it appeared that I was in a sulky mood
They didn't see what my quietness meant
That I was thinking and analyzing them as they went
I often felt left out, and very alone
To withdraw myself, I would be prone
Around those whom I felt safe, I could be the true me
I'd let it all out with those who I knew I could be free
As I've grown through the years, my boldness has too
Although I'm still naturally shy in a situation that's new
Instead of standing around feeling like I don't belong
I make a point to shew myself friendly and strong
I know obstacles will come, things that are unknown
But I'm ready for it all, because over the years I've grown
