But I'm Shy

Captures the hindrances of my timidity

Knock knock,
It's opportunity at my door
Come in,
Let anxiety give you a tour
It wins,
Excuses carpet the floor
Why don't you just give it a try?
The limit is the sky and I want to,
But I'm shy.

Met someone the other day
Seems decent enough
Toss a dice,
Shall we play?
Imagine sweet things they might say 
The change,
It's good, love might take me away
Kiss, you think we should
But for me it's too much
Friends? 
No, this is the end.
Lust,
It gives me a high and I know I want you,
But I'm shy.

Mirror mirror above the bathroom sink 
Confidant,
I build myself up because I shrink 
Dont be silly, you can do it 
Just dont overthink 
Confidence,
I don't see it, the fog is too thick
I hear it,
The clock of possibilities going tick tok tick
The limit is the sky, desperate confused and I'm high
I should just give it a try and I really want to,
But I'm shy.

I think when someone calls you by your full name they mean it as did my mom when i was a kid😑😑😑

Love this - anxiety is a proper hindrance and outbursts of confidence and feelings of I can do this can be evaporated in nano seconds by self doubt, fear and indeed shyness - look forward to reading more from you - :)
