Fear

A basic, if exaggerated, explanation as to why I'm a shy introvert.

You approach me

And I can't tell one heart beat

From the next

You open your mouth,

You speak,

I can hardly listen

For the fear, whose icy hand

Has gripped my soul.

You touch me

And I scream

You only brushed against my arm

Yet the "violation"

Makes me sick.

You wonder why I

Chose not to speak to you?

I suppose you could say,

It's because I'm afraid of you...

Author's Note

Although the "You touch me/And I scream" bit was somewhat exaggerated, it's not entirely untrue. If I don't know that someone's behind me and they touch me, or say something, I will at least jump, and occasionally will scream.
