Shy Poem by Dereck Gibbs

Shy

Rating: 4.0


The words I speak
Rarely ever the ones I want to say
Living in my mind day to day
Afraid to speak cause im weak
Silently watchin
Quietly crying
Seeing as love drifts away from me
Oh such a tragedy
Paranoid of the risk
Froze in time like a mime
Inside a box called seclusion
Love..a delusion
Opportunity dangles freely
A vine to take me away
Scared to be tarzan
I walk away
Scared to submit to the wild
Longin….to become a child
Carefree…no responsibility
But I cant…so I must conquer this paranoia
Starting now.. hi my name is…shy
