'If I Weren'T So Shy' Poem by Linda Winchell

Oh, if I weren't so shy!
I could look another straight in their eyes.
Not prostrating my chin towards my chest
but lifting my head putting all shyness to rest.

Always walking with my head facing down
never seeing anything but the ground.
Head now raised to feel warmth of sun
My life rid of shyness has now begun.

A feat such as this I MUST explore!
For life could only then give me more!
Taking the pain of my shyness stings
giving me all that this life can bring.
