I wonder why some people are so shy?
I am one of them I admit
I know why I am shy
But people may take my shyness as being rude
Some people judge me because I am quiet
Others ignore me instead
It doesn't matter because I have learned you can change
Little by little but it takes time
Some are afraid to ask to be your friend
I don't understand why
The old saying, "What you see is what you get!"
This is me
Learn to take chances
Be a little unpredictable
You may never know what might happen
Unless you try
Whatever you do
Believe in yourself
And others will too
