I'm a tiger when alone!

Shyness

Why is it that we’re so bold
When we’re alone?
So brash , so rash
Oh me, oh my!

Why do we turn
As mute as a stone
When a good looking
Person walks by?

Why do we pale
And blanch white as a bone?
Why do we blush
And stammer and sigh?

Where does our breath go?
What makes that lump In our throat?
When beauty comes
to our eye?

Why can’t we be
A lion, not a goat?
The witty person with head
Held high?

Why can’t we speak
In more than a squeak
And why does our mouth
Go dry?

I’d tell you the truth
But alas, and forsooth
I’m simply, and sadly
      Too shy

Don't be shy!

Love the way you end this! Perhaps you are "shy" because the depth and intensity you feel is so strong. Who else could write this? :)

I like this. It's cute.

It's worse for me, I am bold always until it comes down to actually making the plans to see someone then I'm like OGOD.
