shep88ner Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I just wrote this poem describing the difficulties of being painfully shy. - A little background. In my poem, the "lady" is my girlfriend. This is written from the standpoint of a college student whos away from his regular friends and family and is struggling to create new bonds and friendships. So to protect himself from feeling even more inadiquit he fabricates different made up stories about what he does in his free time so people think he's doing alright. I don't write a lot of poetry but i do actually enjoy it. So there might be some words and stanza's that sound weird or funny...but hang with me. Thank you for reading. Comments would be appreciated! Shy Kids Like Me A Friday night I sit alone But it’s alright you see No one else will know I’m here Cause’ I create who I want to be The lady will here this The parents will here that Neither of them will get the truth To never know where I’m actually at But in my head I know I’m fake And it eats me up inside Total sum too many to count Of times I’ve quietly cried Besides the pain I feel in my heart There are other pains in me All the feelings of reticule And insecurities I feel as if I cannot speak The anxiety makes me numb Scared if I were to speak They’ll all think I’m dumb I try to blend in with all the rest And never make a scene 365 days a year… It’s sort of my routine So that I don’t feel ashamed I create a false image you see I don’t tell people who I really am They see my fabricated me So to all of you I have to say Enjoy your personality Because easy-talking isn’t always easy For the shy kids, just like me… Link to comment

AnotherBrokenDoll Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Loved it. I agree with gentle man, you have a really great talent for this especially if you don't write much and managed to come up with that I know how you feel also, and then you fake it so long you kinda forget who you were in the first place...
