Shyness!

Shyness

Shyness.......

That awkward moment

When you can

But you don't.

When you should 

But you won't.

When you just can't...

Its awkward!

man, this really summarizes shyness - from what I have heard!!! :) great work, my friend

Ha-hah!
I laugh, because it reminds me of that youthfully-shy boy I once was, and compared to the outwardly exuberant, and expressive man I've become, it is, indeed, laughable; yet, I can still relate in memory to this delightfully-penned snippet in homage to shyness.
Listen, My friend … this deserves a bit more attention than you've given it, that expresses pride in your work and care of how your readers will enjoy it. Then, there is always the importance of how one presents their work, and how that presentation can either enhance or smother its effect … let me illustrate what I mean:

Shyness …

that awkward moment
when you can,
but you don't.

When you should,
but you won't.

When you just can't …
it's so awkward!

Having said all that, Andrew … I simply love it! ⁓ Richard ; )

~ I've been there more times than I can count. High School was real rough for me especially. This says a lot in a simple but accurate manner. ~

Ryan summed it up perfectly...

This is such a succinct poem, free of literary fuss and laid out so plain and simply that it just - fits. Not always the easiest thing to do, but this poem nails it.

Thanks for sharing, Andrew. And well done.
